JAMES DUPRÉ

James Dupré is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Bayou Chicot, Louisiana. Named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Country Artists You Need to Know,” he’s spent years sharing his smooth baritone voice with fans across the United States, Canada, and Europe. The one-time aspiring meteorologist turned paramedic became an online sensation in 2007 on YouTube, which ultimately led to an invitation to perform on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Shortly after, he released his debut album It’s All Happening in 2010, which charted on Billboard. After signing a record deal with Warner Music Nashville in 2011, Dupré began performing and touring full-time. In 2015, Dupré appeared on NBC’s The Voice Season 9 with a four chair turn, landing him a spot on Adam Levine’s team. Later that year, James released his sophomore album Stoned to Death, yielding two singles charting on the Billboard Indicator chart: “Hurt Good” and the title track. The father of five made his acting debut in the film “The Price” playing the son of a country singer portrayed by Randy Travis. In 2019, James was handpicked by Randy and his wife, Mary, as the special guest vocalist for the “More Life Tour.” Along with Randy’s original band, James performs all of the Country Music Hall of Famer’s biggest hits. James released his third studio album, Home and Away, in 2020 with three singles: the title track, “Another Love Song,” and “Painfully Pretty.” In September 2023, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut in Nashville, Tenn. In May 2024, James was featured on CBS Sunday Morning as being the first ever “vocal bed” on a commercially released song. The single, “Where That Came From,” was the first new music released by Randy Travis in over a decade, and was produced with the help of Artificial Intelligence to reimagine Randy’s legendary vocals on new music.
