His father, an artificial breeding technician based out of Calaveras, just south of San Antonio, Texas, spent most of his time driving across most of the Western States, rarely home throughout the week, while his mother was a first-generation immigrant from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. A piano teacher, James' mother, Evangeline, instilled a love of music in her son from a young age, while his father, Andrew, introduced James to the blues, rock and metal. James had a natural inclination towards rhythm and timing. As a young boy, he was constantly turning every surface he touched into a drum. For his seventh birthday, he was gifted with his first drum kit, and the rest was history. Throughout his teens, James participated in several local garage bands. As a drummer, he found himself constantly in demand and was able to play for a wide variety of bands and genres. Most of these amateur acts grew out of the hobby, but by the time college was calling, James had connected himself with other, more musically serious individuals, and they formed a real band. This first band, 'Overcooked Parsley', would go on to open for several smaller acts throughout various dive bars in the San Antonio region before spreading out and playing in the likes of Austin, Houston and even Dallas. At the age of sixteen, James picked up his first bass guitar while jamming with a couple of friends. Once he had his head wrapped around the basics, he began to approach the instrument as though he was playing the drums while watching the guitarist for chord changes and positions. Using what his mother had taught him on piano and his years of playing drums, James rapidly advanced on the instrument, and after yet another band fizzled out, went on to become a bassist with the band 'Tea & Strumpets.' Through 'Tea & Strumpets', James was introduced to his first wife, Poppy Caulderfield. The infatuation was mutual and it wasn't long before the rest of the band learned to knock before haphazardly entering the green room after shows or between sets. But the honeymoon phase was short-lived lived and the pair became increasingly volatile, often fighting off stage and squabbling over anything, going so far as to disagree with one another solely to fight. These fights always led to making up, in a manner that was just as loud and destructive as their fighting. Thankfully, their tumultuous affair didn't stop 'Tea & Strumpets' from seeing success, and while the band was putting on shows in Vegas, Poppy and James snuck away in the middle of the night to a twenty-four-hour chapel and pledged their lives to one another. They filed for divorce nine months later. 'Tea & Strumpets' would later cut their losses, and James was asked to leave the band. Returning home, he eventually made his way to Nashville, Tennessee, where he found work as a session bassist, tracking songs and albums with numerous artists. This opportunity would introduce him to Cooper McNevan, Colin Phillips and Lee Joel, who, along with James, would go on to create 'Caliburn'. Caliburn was James' big break. The group moved from performing in dive bars to opening for the likes of Nickelback, Pearl Jam and Metallica. Before they knew it, Caliburn had other bands opening for them, and soon they were playing in sold-out auditoriums. Though James had always been fond of alcohol, his newfound fame led him to party harder and harder. Often, he was with a different girl every night, and the only time he was without a drink in his hand was when he had his bass. First came alcohol, it was soon followed by cigarettes, then marijuana, mushrooms, and it only continued from there.

No matter how many times James has blocked their number, they always find a new one. James changed his own number twice before giving up and accepting his harasser. Each time he answers, he's bombarded with a variety of voices repeating over and over, 'I know what you did!' while the backing track of his latest single plays melancholically in the background. James has moved forward with both legal action and the police, but neither has been able to do anything about the anonymous caller. [/sub][/justify][/color][/indent][/cell][/row][/table]
