About James Johnston

James Johnston is one of Australia's biggest country music exports, blending modern country production with authentic storytelling that has earned him more than 165 million global streams and a rapidly growing international audience. A three-time Golden Guitar winner and ARIA Award nominee, Johnston has become one of the defining voices of contemporary Australian country music. His history-making debut album RAISED LIKE THAT spent 35 consecutive weeks at #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart, while his sophomore album WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME cemented his place as one of the genre's most exciting artists. Known for fan favourites including RAISED LIKE THAT, BLAME, SMALL TOWN, COUNTRY IS FOR ME, SMOKE I'VE KNOWN with US country star Chase Matthew, and now TAKES ME BACK, James has built a catalogue that connects with audiences well beyond Australia's borders. His songs celebrate home, family, friendship and the moments that shape who we become - stories that resonate wherever country music is played. Heading into sold-out headline shows across the United Kingdom, his first-ever Canadian headline show, performances throughout Australia, Sweden and South Africa, and continuing to expand into North America and Europe, James Johnston is helping lead a new generation of Australian country music onto the world stage.
