James Morrison has achieved worldwide success with debut single "You Give Me Something", He released his debut album Undiscovered on 31 July 2006. Which genarally recieved positive reviews for the Brit Award-winning English singer-songwriter and guitarist from Rugby, Warwickshire. The album has no bad songs, they are all beautifully crafted pieces of art in themselves. It topped the UK Album Chart on its first week of its release. The album sold over one million copies around the world by the end of 2006. making Morrison the best selling male solo artist of 2006 in the UK.


Morrison began playing guitar at the age of twelve, after being taught by his uncle how to play a blues rift. Later busking while living in the village of Porth, near Newquay, Cornwall.According to Morrison, he was influenced by music from quite a young age, listening to such artists as Stevie wonder among others.
