After his mother sat him on an organ bench at the age of 2 years old and began teaching him the notes of the keyboard James "Jay" English has spent the next 30 years of his life allowing himself to be surrounded by ministers and musicians who have not only poured into him, but have also held him accountable for understanding not just the importance of music but also it's role in creating an atmosphere of worship. Known for his transparency, sense of humor, and head-on approach to life, he uses his personal victories and defeats to encourage all those he comes in contact with to find their place in the kingdom, fully utilize their skills and passion, and understand that there is no distance too far for God's redeeming power to travel. James is engaged to Sonia Ramos, serves as the minister of music at Jesus Name Apostolic Church in Waukegan IL, and is the founder of FHG Studios who's motto is "Our Gifts For His Glory."
