James Bay Breaks Down His Career: From Bar Jobs to Billions of Streams

It’s crazy to think that we actually filmed the first upload for James Bay, way back in 2014, and we’ve kept the friendship with him ever since.

So when he announced The Chaos and the Calm 10 year anniversary re-release, we had to get him into the London HQ for the Breakdown.

We talked about Move Together, how Let It Go became the breakaway hit, the famous Saturday Night Live performance for the Electric Light LP, through to his collabs with Noah Kahan and the Lumineers and finally the latest LP, Changes All The Time.

It’s a joy to watch him reminisce for the first time at these historic moments.
