When James Johnston released his debut single, ‘RAISED LIKE THAT’ three years ago, he never could have anticipated the whirlwind that followed. Six #1 airplay hits, 75 million global streams and two Golden Guitars later, James is easily Australia’s most exciting Country Music artist.  The song that started it all has been certified ARIA Platinum, making James the first ever Australian independent country artist to achieve this for a single.

But there’s more.

The bloke who grew up near the small town of Wingham in New South Wales and sings of country life with an authenticity that makes a drover cry, a farmer sigh, a young jackaroo spin, a country girl smile and city folk wistful, has made Australian music history with his debut album.
