Gavin Wigglesworth, known professionally as Gavin James, is an Irish singer-songwriter. James was born in Dublin on the 5th of July 1991 and grew up in a household surrounded by music. James began playing music in a rock band at the age of 14 and writing his own songs.

The rock band was short-lived, however, James continued to perform solo, playing numerous gigs for years and building his audience. By age 21 he had begun focusing on his songwriting and playing open mic nights. James’ first release, the EP Say Hello, was a huge internet hit in 2012 and the title track won the Choice Music Prize Irish Song of the Year, while 2014 saw the release of the live album Live at Whelan’s.

 He began Working on his debut album Bitter Pill album back in 2015. It was recorded in London and LA with Producers Fraser T. Smith and Cam Blackwood.

ILoveLimerick said, back in August 2017, that James spoke about the album saying, “I’ve always wanted to hear how my songs would sound properly produced, but I didn’t want them to lose the edge they had live. We recorded the song Bitter Pill first and once we found the sound for that the rest was easy.”
