“"You grabbed me with the opening line and never let go. Your rhymes are fresh; your melody is memorable; I think this could be a very successful song. This is some seriously exceptional writing and I wish you well-deserved success. Bravo!"” - Jason Blume, International hit writer and SongDoor judge

About James Kelso
From songwriter to artist...
James' music is heavily influenced by country, pop, and CCM—as well as his 20 years as a worship leader—but his eclectic taste in music brings influence from many other genres. His music is most notably defined by meaningful lyrics wrapped in strong melodic hooks. A storyteller at heart, each song takes the listener on a journey, often through pain and struggle, to the hope of the gospel.
James was named the 2015 AOCS Songwriter of the Year, the SongDoor International Songwriting Contest's 2020 Grand Award Winner, and the Christian Category winner for the 2021 Great American Song Contest. While James is not defined by these awards, but rather by his identity in Christ, each award has led to open doors. Though he does not know where these doors will ultimately lead, James is committed to walking through each one as he pursues God’s clear calling on his life.
James is a happily married father of four sons and one daughter.
