ATLANTA, GA – July 2025 — With a career spanning over a decade, Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and label executive James Artissen is entering a new era. Formerly known as James Worthy, the Queens-born creative returns with two standout singles—“One More Thing” featuring legendary house diva Robin S., and “All Night” with Southern rap icon Khujo Goodie. These releases not only showcase his genre-blending talent, but they also mark a powerful step in his evolution as a fully realized artist, storyteller, and cultural curator.
Born James Allen Worthy in Queens, New York, Artissen’s story is one of passion, persistence, and undeniable talent. He began his journey at just 16 after a chance encounter with Michael Jackson—a meeting that lit the spark for a lifelong pursuit of musical excellence. From high school studios in Atlanta to boardrooms at Sony Orchard, Artissen’s dedication to his craft has made him a respected name across the music industry.
“One More Thing” & “All Night”: A Dual Statement of Style and Substance
Released via his label Humble Sound Record, Artissen’s newest singles are dynamic reflections of his wide-ranging influences.
“One More Thing” brings together the smoky elegance of contemporary R&B with the uplifting energy of classic house, courtesy of Robin S., best known for her hit “Show Me Love.” Their chemistry is undeniable as Artissen’s smooth vocals ride effortlessly over lush production, blending nostalgia with modern flair in a track that feels ready for both the dancefloor and the late-night drive.
Meanwhile, “All Night” taps into Artissen’s hip-hop roots, featuring a gritty guest verse from Khujo Goodie of Goodie Mob. The song oozes Southern flavor and nocturnal cool, built around hypnotic rhythms and seductive undertones. It’s a vibe-heavy anthem perfect for after-dark escapades and urban storytelling.
Together, these two records present a snapshot of Artissen’s range: dreamy and trippy, yet grounded and intentional. They echo themes that have defined his artistry—city life, heartache, nighttime musings, and the seductive highs of self-expression.
An Artist Who Does It All
James Artissen isn’t just a performer—he’s a visionary creative force. Since his early days as a producer and songwriter, he has worked alongside major names like Justin Bieber, Meek Mill, Robin S., Raphael Saadiq, and 112. His projects have garnered multiple Grammy nominations, proving his ear for both innovation and commercial success.
His breakout moment as an artist came in 2017 with the Billboard-charting single “Wine For Me” as part of duo Kings X2, which peaked at #10 on the US Billboard Hot Single Sales Chart for five consecutive weeks. From there, he launched a solo career with “Move,” a powerful collaboration with Whodini, followed by his acclaimed debut EP “Blu Leisure” and its celebrated follow-up “Kaleidoscopes.” Each project has deepened his sonic identity while earning praise for its emotional depth and genre fusion.
In 2023, he teamed up with Big Gipp of Goodie Mob to release their collaborative EP “Gipp N Worthy.” The lead single, “TOTW,” cracked the Billboard R&B Digital Sales Chart, while climbing to the #1 spot on Amazon’s Best Sellers Chart—a rare feat for an independent artist.
Humble Sound Record: The Next Chapter
Not content with only creating for himself, Artissen launched his own imprint, Humble Sound Record, in partnership with Sony Orchard in 2024. The label has already become a home for genre-pushing talent, including B Angie B, Robin S., Tynisha Keli, Truth Hurts, Sophia Habib, and Shaynah. It’s a platform built on mentorship, authenticity, and creative freedom—core values that have shaped Artissen’s own path.
