James made his North American debut in 2016 when he hit the road as sole support on Island superstar Shawn Mendes' Illuminate World Tour, which sold-out 38-dates across Europe and North America.

Prior to the tour, James opened Shawn's sold-out headlining concert at New York's Radio City Music Hall in March. In 2017, James embarked on his first solo headline tour and performed “When You Love Someone” on NBC's The Today Show, and on NBC's Ellen; watch the latter performance HERE.
