Brother James is the spiritual singer-songwriter moniker of LA-based producer & songwriter Justin James Sinclair, who has worked in various roles with the likes of Ilsey, Train, Weezer, and Gungor (among others).

Brother James' mystic-monastic indie-folk love songs will set you at ease and comfort you, challenge you and push you toward growth, and then warm your heart and open your soul. Imagine that Paul McCartney, Randy Newman, and Paul Simon became monks, then hand-delivered monastery wine to your doorstep.

His debut album Be Alive, released in late 2025, explores mysticism, self-searching, and the daily, necessary struggle we all face to remain present and fully alive — inviting the listener to engage more deeply with their own life and story.
