Early life
[edit]1998–2017: Childhood
[edit]James Anderson was born and raised in East London, the youngest of his siblings. Brought up in a religious Jamaican family, he was exposed to gospel and reggae music from an early age which lead him to discover his love for R&B. Brandy, Destiny's Child, Michael Jackson and Kirk Franklin became James' childhood heroes, he was soon to discover D’Angelo, Erykah Badu & Lauryn Hill. Starting young singing at his grandmothers Pentecostal church he began to gain traction showing his talents on YouTube. His biggest cover was a tribute to the legend Whitney Houston singing "I Have Nothing". In 2012, uploads of James’ covers eventually lead to him a role in the West End playing as young MJ for two years in the Thriller Live musical from just the age of twelve. After graduating from the BRIT School in 2015 and moving on to college ELAM (the East London Arts and Music college) (2015–2017) the JVCK JAMES moniker was born and stuck.[3]

[edit]Whilst still at college he released his first single "Extroverted Lovers" which met with a breakout performance for COLORS live session in 2017. That, in turn, gathered even more pace, picking up more views, including Mahalia and Ella Mai who both invited him on tour with them across Europe and America.[4] Following his debut project release "DETOUR" in 2019, James began his partnership with UK record label RCA in 2020.[5] Later that year, he performed at the BET Soul Train Awards.[6] Pre-Show and featured in their viral UK Soul Cypher
The following year JVCK JAMES released his second EP JOYRIDE, and described the collection of work as "R&B on steroids". Featuring 6 tracks including the singles ‘No Drama’ and ‘Joyride (ándale)’ the EP launched with a fully formed visual JOYRIDE (Short Film), which was created in conjunction of director Fenn O’Meally.[7] The lead single "No Drama was featured on Complex Uk's "Best Songs of 2021"[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
