"It all started when I was PLACED into Kindygarden...for the second time......." ~ JC Campbell (kidding eh.)
James "J.C." Campbell is of Cree/Ojibway and European decent. This Native Canadian Winnipeg born Singer/Songwriter's smoky pipes are reminiscent of the Bluesmen of past. J.C.'s soulful vocals ring honesty. J.C.’s humble nature adds to the intrigue, that few artists embody. Writing his own material, playing guitar and opening for artists such as Shane Yellowbird, Prairie Oyster, Mark Collie, Chris Bigford and Donny Parenteau has created a solid platform.
His debut CD "Life Up 'Til Now" was originally intended as a series of acoustic demo songs. Nine tracks were recorded in three separate unplugged studio sessions and compiled for submission to the 2005 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. The album was embraced by their committee and garnered nominations in both the "Best Folk Acoustic Album" and "Best Country Album" categories.
The latest project "Lazy James" has 10 original tracks some of which he co-wrote with his fiance and fellow artist, Tracy Bone. This album is "a new beginning" for him in so many ways. Real love has brought J.C. new life and inspiration to "Keep On Tryin'". The songs on this project reflect his experiences on the hard road of life, realization and personal awakening.
"I would describe my music as Country Blues". ~J.C. Campbell
In 2007 good "Fortune" led him to co-write with Nashville Hit Songwriter and Chief Creative Officer of Ole' Music Publishing Gilles Godard, who has written hits for Terry Clark, Patty Loveless and Tracy Byrd to name a few.
2008 Songwriting Workshop led by the incomparable Buffy St.Marie was organized by the Aboriginal Music Program. J.C. was one of five Songwriters to be invited to share their original material.
Captivating audiences with his live performances, he has been humbly compared to Johnny Cash for the aura he radiates. J.C. Campbell music is as refreshing as it is unique.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
