About James Dupré: As a notable member of team Adam Levine on NBC’s “The Voice”, James Dupré earned the respect of millions of viewers, but this was not his first taste of fame. The YouTube sensation — currently nearing 10 million views — had quite the following as early as 2007, and was invited to perform on “Ellen” in 2010 before landing a record deal in 2011. As a former EMT-Paramedic from Bayou Chicot, Louisiana, Dupré’s humility and charm are as memorable as his uniquely strong baritone vocals. As a writer on 7 of the 10 tracks on his new album, co-written with hit-makers Neal Coty, Jessi Alexander and more, James is proud to share Stoned To Death produced by Jordan Lehning (Kacey Musgraves, Kree Harrison) with his existing and new fans alike.
