Artist History James Leblanc was born and raised in Shreveport Louisiana. He has been playing since his Dad taught him to play as a toddler. In his teen years James started writing songs and playing in local bands. Over the years his following began to grow to include other songwriter’s and musicians. In 1995 one of these musician friends sent sone of James’ songs to Rodney Hall at Fame Publishing. After two years of staying in close touch with the FAME staff, James was signed to FAME Publishing. Since that time James has fast become one of the hottest songwriters around garnering cuts on artists such as Martina Mcbride, Travis Tritt, Joe Diffie, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and hot newcomer Cyndi Thompson. In late 2000 James relocated to Muscle Shoals, Alabama where he continues to pursue his livelong music habit. Last year James took a friend up on an offer to play guitar on the massive “Girls Night Out Tour”. He spent the next six months on the road with the up and coming Australian sensation Jamie O’Neal. He has spent the last few years in Muscle Shoals building a publishing catalog and honing his musical talents. He has had 18 songs cuts by major label artists in the last 3 years as a songwriter. This includes the recent top 10 single “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde” for Travis Tritt. James is now in the studio working on his Muscle Shoals Records debut CD.
