The winner is 19 year old Jack Wallen from Higher Brea, Cornwall.
James said "There were so many great entries for the competition, and it was difficult for me to choose one, but in the end I chose Jack Wallen because he had the best lyrical flow and a style of his own. I think he sounds great and I'm looking forward to seeing him play".

James and the Jazz Legend - Herbie Hancock's New Album
Earlier this year, James recorded a track with Herbie Hancock, a man widely regarded as one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time. Herbie is a multi Grammy Award winning artist, previously part of Miles Davis's "second great quintet" and is best known for iconic work such as Cataloupe Island, Watermelon Man and Rockit.
Herbie specifically invited James to sing the classic Otis Redding/ Sam Cooke favourite 'A Change Is Gonna Come' to feature on his new album 'The Imagine Project', which is released this week.
The album was recorded in many locations around the world, drawing on cross-cultural interpretations of classic songs such as Imagine, Don't Give Up and The Times They Are A Changing. James' collaboration sits alongside those including Pink, India.Arie, John Legend, Oumou Sangaré and Dave Matthews amongst others.
James comments "It was a huge thrill to work with someone as legendary as Herbie Hancock and to record a classic song that is one of my all time favourites. The challenge was bringing something new to the best known versions, but I think that we have done that. Herbie is the most incredible musician and I'm honoured to be part of his unique work."
