James Bay is a true musician’s musician. The UK-born singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer honors classic songwriting traditions while pushing himself—and modern pop music—forward. His sound blends a familiar, timeless foundation with sharp lyricism, raw vulnerability, and undeniable instrumental skill.
In 2024, Bay returns with his dynamic fourth album, Changes All The Time, arriving September 20 via Mercury/Republic Records. The record features high-profile collaborations, including Noah Kahan and The Lumineers on the lead single “Up All Night.” Additional standout moments include songwriting partnerships with Brandon Flowers of The Killers on “Easy Distraction” and acclaimed artist Holly Humberstone on “Dogfight.”
Following his platinum-certified 2015 debut Chaos And The Calm, Bay earned GRAMMY® nominations for Best New Artist, Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Song, the latter for the gold-selling “Hold Back The River.” The breakout hit “Let It Go” reached triple-platinum status, cementing his place in modern rock-pop history. Over the years, he has accumulated dozens of award nominations and wins, including two BRIT Awards, two Q Awards, and top honors from the Ivor Novello and ECHO Awards.
With nearly 9 billion streams worldwide, Bay’s career highlights include duets with Alicia Keys on The Voice, sharing the stage with Mick Jagger while opening for The Rolling Stones at London’s Twickenham Stadium, and performing alongside Sheryl Crow after his set at Eric Clapton’s 2019 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas. In 2023, he also opened for Bruce Springsteen at Hyde Park, further underscoring his global stature.
