James Graham (born 12 October 1996)^[1] is a British singer from Essex.

He took part in The Four: Battle for Stardom^[2] and performed James Morrison's "You Give Me Something" in his Room Audition, getting a very good reaction from the judges,^[3] and Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" at the Arena; Mel B said that his performance was "soulful and sexy”. He is the winner of season 2 of the show.

After the win, he signed a recording deal, and agreed to work with the Judges from The Four: Battle for Stardom.^[4]

He also appeared on The X Factor UK. He was part of Stereo Kicks, an English-Irish boy band made up of eliminated auditionees from The X Factor audition process. Stereo Kicks consisted of James Graham in addition to Jake Sims, Chris Leonard, Charlie Jones, Casey Johnson, Barclay Beales, Reece Bibby, and Tom Mann. The group finished fifth on the eleventh series of The X Factor in 2014. Their debut single "Love Me So" was released on 21 June 2015 and charted at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart. Just a month later, however, having been together under a year, they announced they were disbanding due to their failure to land a record deal.
