"The Worship Arts Ministry combines fine arts and technology to create

inspiring and spiritually uplifting. Our deepest core value is to glorify God
through artistic excellence."

James' first playing outlet was his church's choir. While in high school he studied jazz and music theory, absorbing the influences of Billy Cobham, Dennis Chambers, Will Kennedy, Dave Weckl, and Steve Gadd. James toured with the Gospel Stage Play, "O Lord What Now". Currently, he is the drummer for the popular St. Louis based group, BOOM, gigging three to four nights per week.
