About James Dupré
James Dupré was born and raised in Bayou Chicot, LA. James was named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Country Artists You Need to Know”, and has spent a lot of time sharing his smooth baritone voice with his fans across social media platforms and at venues and festivals across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
James, a one-time aspiring meteorologist turned paramedic, became a YouTube sensation in 2007 which ultimately led to an invitation to perform on Ellen. James released his debut album “It’s All Happening” in 2010, which charted on Billboard. James signed a record deal with Warner Music Nashville in 2011 and began performing and touring full-time.
In 2015, Dupré appeared on NBC’s The Voice (Season 9) with a four chair turn, landing him to a spot on Adam Levine’s team. Following his departure from The Voice, James released his sophomore album “Stoned to Death”, with two singles charting on the Billboard Indicator chart: “Hurt Good” and “Stoned to Death”.
The father of five made his acting debut in the film “The Price”, playing the son of a country singer portrayed by Randy Travis.
In 2019, James was handpicked by Randy and Mary Travis as vocalist for “The Music of Randy Travis” tour (now known as the “More Life” tour). Along with Randy’s original band, James performs all of Randy’s biggest hits.
James released his third studio album, “Home and Away”, in 2020 with three singles: “Home and Away”, “Another Love Song”, and “Painfully Pretty.”
