James McNair

At age 7 with a Sears catalog electric guitar found in his grandmother’s attic, James learned his first chords. His father, Jim, let him pick through old boxes of records and started him on the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more. James learned to play along with the songs and developed a deep appreciation for well-crafted lyrics and melodies. 

While attending college at University of Alabama, James would write songs between classes and jam with fellow neighbors at his dormitory, Paty Hall. He moved to Nashville, TN in the spring of 2013 to pursue songwriting full-time despite a promising career in the family golf business. 

James landed his first worldwide publishing deal in the fall of 2015 with Sony-ATV and Tree Vibez Music. He has co-written over 45 major label cuts with artists like Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Scotty McCreery, Chris Janson, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Chase Rice, HARDY, The Cadillac Three, Tyler Farr, Chris Lane, and more. In September of 2020 James received his first #1 song with Luke Combs, “Lovin’ On You”(Topping the charts at #1 for 4 weeks).
