2014 debut album from James Keogh AKA Vance Joy; a folk pop artist from Melbourne, Australia. Vance Joy s love of music was inspired by his mother s aptitude at literature and his father s fondness of singing. His parents vast, eclectic record collection only served to heighten his partiality to it. After completing a university degree in law, he decided to take a year s break to focus on making music. He travelled to India and South-East Asia with a collection of songs rattling around in his head. When he came home, they all fell into place. Like the unforced orchestration of his songs, Vance Joy s recent success has developed organically.
