James Hatem is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter originally from New Jersey, known for his raw, guitar-driven sound and emotionally honest songwriting.

Currently, Hatem is on the road supporting Cheap Trick on their All Washed Up Tour while continuing to release new music. He is set to release a full-length album later this year.
