James’ family had always been supportive of his musical aspirations – they just wanted him to finish school first. Meanwhile, James enjoyed growing up in the bush, where he rode motorbikes with his mates and did “all that dumb stuff that boys like to do.”
Year 12 over with, the 18-year-old moved from his family’s farm near Wingham, NSW to Newcastle. Playing gigs and busking to make ends meet, James had been living week to week and is mostly pleased to have been able to pay his bills. “It’s pretty good, I’ve been supporting myself off my music,” says James cheerfully. “Hopefully with all this exposure, I can keep doing it for longer than just this year.”
James’s experiences as a working musician haven’t always been a bed of roses but it hasn’t changed his mind about wanting a career in music. “I think a lot of people get caught up and just want stardom straight off,” he observes. “But I’ve done gigs where they’ve told me to go home half way through the night because there’s not one single person in the place. I’ve realised that’s the reality of it and it just doesn’t come easy. You’ve just got to keep sticking with it.”
James has been singing since he was four, started playing the guitar when he was about 13 and lately has been getting into making his own music; “I’ve been song writing for about a 4 years now. It’s one of my favourite things about music because it’s just you - it’s an expression of yourself, and it’s just really great to have your own creation.”
Since finishing in third place on Australian Idol in 2009, James is even more determined to make music his life.
In early 2010, in conjunction with the production of his single “Rollercoaster”, James has put together a group of professional musicians to form “The James Johnston Band”, taking the idol experience on the road.
