Born and raised in the southern Louisiana community of Bayou Chicot, James Dupré grew up listening to his parent’s favorite artists, including Randy Travis, The Eagles, James Taylor, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr., and James' all-time favorite, Vince Gill. He always loved to sing, but was reserved until college, when he joined a church group and started playing in front of larger crowds. After college, James kept his music ambitions while following his father’s footsteps to become an EMT Paramedic with Acadian Ambulance Service, where he still works today to support his wife and three young boys.
James Dupre was recently featured on the Ellen Degeneres Show.
James can best be described as a young talent bringing country back to it's roots.
