James Ivy: the story and songs to start with

James Ivy’s path from early online production to debut-album release

James Ivy is a US pop and alternative artist whose story in the supplied sources moves from SoundCloud-era production toward a more guitar-forward debut album. The FADER describes his early work as “heartfelt and sweetly pop,” and says he once spent a month in New York recording tracks for The Seams before starting over. Another interview says he began making music as a kid, and that he first learned production around age 15. For a starting point, listen to Bent and Putting Together A Device.
