Song Writer, Composer, Performing artist... JusJames (James McClelland) is a hardworking, innovative Christian artist rising from the city Sacramento, CA. Since 2005, James has been creating, composing, and performing songs that many would describe as life changing and impactful. James was born on June 24, 1984 in Mather, CA to Edward & Myong McClelland. As early as age 4, James can remember being in church while his Mom would serve within the community. James would eventually grow a fond relationship with music and begin creating custom mixtapes, in which, he would display with his friends and fellow classmates. He also became heavily involved in sports which includes a 4-year letterman in Football. Even with the accolades of Football under his belt, he began to stray away from the teachings and doctrines he had learned in church and began to experience the party life and all that comes with it.

In 2005, he realized he had an ability to write and compose music and began to pursue a recreational career in doing so. The following year, James spent an entire year and a half period working diligently in the studio recording song after song which ultimately resulted in the release of his first studio album entitled "WWJD (What Would James Do?)". The biggest highlight for him that year was marrying his wife, Alicia Renee Hernandez. She had a daughter, Eyvonne, from a previous relationship and the two began a life together as a family. In the same year, James spent a large amount of time collaborating with Madd Life Entertainment where he began performing at numerous venues and building his brand as an artist in the local Sacramento area. However in 2008, James’ life and music career took an unexpected turn for the better. James received Christ as his personal Savior and put his musical endeavors on halt for a while.

In the year 2010, James returned to music with the same impressive talents and gifts but with a new mission to minister music rather than perform it… music that glorified God, not self. From that point on, he has released 3 mixtapes and 2 albums representing his mission and his new image. He currently works collaboratively with other artists with the same mission!

James & his Wife, Alicia Renee currently serve at The Door CFC of Land Park in Sacramento, CA
