James Walsh

James Walsh broke through in the early 2000s as the frontman of Starsailor, with whom he achieved great success thanks to the successful debut album Good Souls, an NME Award, and international tours. Even after the reunion, the band remains popular, while Walsh has also built a successful solo career. With his new solo album It's All Happening, Walsh chooses an intimate, stripped-back approach in which personal and socially inspired stories take center stage. According to him, it is his most thoughtful and textually strong album to date. His songs are inspired by diverse sources, such as photography, literature, current events, and personal experiences, but always revolve around recognizable human emotions. Walsh views songwriting as a creative form of freedom and escape. Unlike working with a band, a solo album offers him complete artistic control and space to develop his ideas at his own pace. Ultimately, he sees success not only in live performances or sales figures, but especially in the meaning his music gains in the lives of listeners. That personal and emotional contact forms the core of It's All Happening.
