Brother James is the spiritual singer-songwriter moniker of LA-based producer & songwriter Justin James Sinclair, who has shared stages with Jackson Browne, Dan Wilson, Madison Cunningham, and Taylor Goldsmith, and worked in the studio with Weezer, Sean Watkins, Kate Micucci, and Gungor.
Brother James' mystic-monastic indie-folk love songs will set you at ease and comfort you, challenge you and push you toward growth, and then warm your heart and open your soul. Imagine that Paul Simon, Pete Seeger, and Paul McCartney became monks and then delivered hand-made monastery wine to your door — if that's appealing to you, then Brother James' heart-forward songs are for you.
His debut album Be Alive, released in late 2025, explores mysticism, self-searching, and the daily, necessary struggle we all face to remain present and fully alive — inviting the listener to engage more deeply with their own life and story.
