Biography
Durbin was born to Judy Settle-Durbin. His father Willy Durbin, a musician, died of drug overdose when he was 9. He was diagnosed with Tourette’s and Asperger’s syndrome shortly after his father died. He has facial tics, some social awkwardness, and restricted interests.
He has a fiancée, Heidi whom he met in a bar and considered his ‘rock’. They have a son together named Hunter.
In 2006, he performed in Santa Cruz-based children’s theater group called Kids on Broadway and played the lead role in “Beauty and the Beast” and “Singin’ in the Rain”, as well as “West Side Story” in a production by All About Theatre, a Santa Cruz community theatre company. He was also the lead singer in a metal band called The Hollywood Scars. He said he has also done country music before.
Two years ago, James was invited to record and mix his amazing vocal talent with legendary producer/engineer/artist Alan Parsons (of The Alan Parsons Project/Beatles/Pink Floyd fame). Along with professional vocalist PJ Olsson, the group recorded James’ vocals on Alan Parsons’ song “We Play The Game,” a collaboration with The Crystal Method.

I literally can't even describe how good this guy is live. His album may sound pop, but he softened it so it would sell to his Idol fans. But live, he is all rock and metal and it's fantastic.

UchihaUmi: If you want more like Outcast, go ahead and listen to Hardcore Superstar. You can clearly hear that they are involved in Outcast.

Who cares if it's fucking metal or pop-rock, just enjoy his music for what it is and forget labels. Gosh, bunch of snobs...

Preffered him when he was himself, not a product of show-biz. Such a pity you let them suck you...

Outcast is the only 'metal' song on the new album (classic 80's glam style), and the rest is power-pop / pop-rock / post-grunge but perfectly written and performed. Decent stuff!
