James Wesley

Country singer/songwriter James Wesley was born and raised in Mound Valley, Kansas. Originally signed to Warner Bros. in 1999 as James Prosser, he released one album (Life Goes On) before adopting the Wesley moniker. After relocating to Nashville, Wesley inked a deal with Broken Bow Records and released the single "Jackson Hole." The song debuted at number 54 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, and was followed in 2010 by a second single, "Real." In 2011, he found a new level of exposure when he opened for two weeks of superstar Taylor Swift's Speak Now tour. More touring and singles followed in anticipation of the much-delayed Wesley debut LP, Real, including "Hooked Up," which appeared in summer 2015. ~ James Christopher Monger & Marcy Donelson
