Artist description James Bristow stirs up a mixture of pop and folk combined with honest lyrics to create what his parents call "nice...it doesn't have all that screaming and rapping." James attempts to play a wide variety of instruments and plays every track in his recordings as he does not know enough people who play instruments to start a band.
