About Micky James

Born 1993. Micky James is an American singer, songwriter, singer-songwriter and musician.

Michael James Muccigrossi, better known by his stage name Micky James, is an American singer, songwriter, and musician.

James was introduced to music at an early age. He has stated that seeing a videotape of the Beatles’ appearance on the Ed Sullivan show “ultimately led [him] into being a performer and a guitar player and down the road a song writer.”

James spent his formative years playing in bands. He toured extensively with his last group, the Karma Killers, before they disbanded in 2018.

2018–present: Solo career James released his debut single “Give It To Me Straight” in 2018, with the song premiering on Billboard and Sirius XM’s Alt Nation’s Advanced Placement. Soon after, he made his Los Angeles debut at the Roxy Theater supporting the Struts.

James's 2018 single “Rest of the Best (feat. Dreamers)" was added to regular rotation on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation. After its release, he joined Alt Nation’s Advanced Placement Tour featuring the Regrettes and Welles.

In 2019, James released the singles “Walk the Line” and “Cry Baby.”

On July 31, 2020 his most recent single “Kings” premiered via Wonderland Magazine. The song was featured on Spotify’s New Noise playlist and garnered critical acclaim, with one critic calling it “a cool six-stringed groove fest with a message” and another “a defiant uprising of the generationally damned and disgruntled, as well as the most authentic rock n’ roll you’ve heard in years.”

Musical style and influences James has been compared to David Bowie, the Clash, T. Rex, and the Rolling Stones.

He also counts early-aughts New York City bands such as the Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs as influences, stating that the Strokes’ debut album Is This It “got me into singing...when I listened to that record, I kind of found my voice.”
