About

What can you say about a singer/songwriter for whom performing comes as easily as breathing?

TJ James became involved in music at an early age and has been performing professionally since 1995.

TJ began his career as a busker, in and around Canberra and developed into one of the city’s most recognised and respected performers.

In addition to performing at many local venues TJ has supported a number of prominent Australian contemporary music artists, including Wendy Mathews and Rick Price.

In 2001, TJ released his debut E.P. “Able Bodied” and supported its promotion with performances interstate.

2003 saw the release of TJ’s self titled debut album, which continued his evolution as a songwriter artist.

TJ markets his own albums online and at his performances.

Born with Cerebral Palsy, TJ works closely with Cerebral Palsy support organisations across Australia and in the United States.

These organisations receive a percentage of TJ’s record sales, while assisting with the promotion of his music.

In recognition of his work, in 2005 TJ was invited to perform at the Australian Cerebral Palsy Association’s national conference in South Australia.

2006 saw TJ partner with the ACT government in various programmes to encourage the inclusion and participation of people with disabilities in music and the arts.

TJ is currently working with Disability ACT on a major project to encourage people with disabilities to get involved in the music industry.

In 2007 TJ released his third album 'Another World' and embarked on
his first Australian tour during National Cerebral Palsy Week in
August of that year.

Another World is set to become TJ's first international release.
