Gavin James

About

Gavin James (born Gavin Wigglesworth, Dublin, 1991) is an Irish singer-songwriter who started out busking on Grafton Street before becoming one of Ireland's most successful musical exports. His debut album Bitter Pill (2015) broke through across Europe - particularly in the Netherlands - on the strength of singles like 'The Book of Love' and 'Nervous'. With over 2 billion streams, 45 platinum and gold certifications worldwide, and four number-one albums in Ireland, he has built a loyal following that stretches well beyond his home country.
