James Day began his career in the 80s, attending New York’s American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His material began achieving critical success, appearing on works by Diane Warren, Carole King, Patrice Rushen, Mya, The Judds, Amy Powers (Brian McKnight, Barbra Streisand) Underground Productions (Arista, J Records) & others. Despite the success he was having, Day’s observations of the state of modern music left him extremely frustrated. “Better Days” revisits those days of well powerful vocals and melodies born of the 70s and 80s, and with the leas single “Don’t Waste The Pretty” established himself in 2005 with arguably the biggest modern soul record of the year. “Better Days”, is a tribute to an exceptional period of black music. James grew up with many of its luminaries including Quincy Jones, Ashford & Simpson, Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack. “Better Days” is a collection of brand new songs performed by vocalists who have graced some of the greatest R&B records and performed with such legends as Stevie Wonder & Diana Ross.

James Day follows up his Expansion debut “Better Days” with "Natural Things". His sophomore album features Mikelyn Roderick (lead vocalist for Motown soul group By All Means); Jeff Ramsey (top session and touring vocalist with artists such as Lalah Hathaway, Al Jarreau, and Maxwell); Audrey Wheeler (lead vocalist on hits with Jeff Lorber, C&C Music Factory, Unlimited Touch/tours and records with George Benson); Gavin Christopher (previous collaborations with Curtis Mayfield, Herbie Hancock including the classic “Stars In Your Eyes”; Ian Martin (fellow Expansion recording artist, writer-producer & top bassist on recordings by Norman Connors, Angela Bofill, and Dave Koz); Walter Beasley (legendary contemporary jazz saxophonist); Karen Bernod (solo recording artist who also features with Incognito, Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston and Mary J.
