## About

I’m Manny James, an independent recording artist, songwriter, and producer from New Haven, Connecticut. I make soulful R&B rooted in classic soul, with a modern feel and stories drawn from real life.
From the studio to the stage, I put my heart into every song. Whether it makes you move, brings someone to mind, or says what you couldn’t find the words for, I want my music to give you something you can feel—and come back to.
