As an arts educator, James has worked with students all over the country in the areas of song interpretation, audition technique, on-camera work, and material selection. A native of Boston with a B.A. in Music Education from Westfield University, James’ cabaret work, both solo and as part of “The Black-Ups” (with co-creators LaDonna Burns and Elliot Roth), has been seen across the country at The American Repertory Theatre’s Club Oberon in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Los Angeles’ Lyric Theatre, and Tin Pan Alley and The Post Office Cabaret in Provincetown.
