He was introduced to Bollywood by music director Pritam in the movie “Gangster” (2006) with the song “Bheegi Bheegi”. Despite the fact that James did not know Hindi and had to learn the words and pronunciation by rote, the song became a chart-buster. He went on to record a few other songs with Pritam.
His non-film albums include “Anonna” (1988), “Palabe Kothai” (1992), “Dukkhini Dukkho Korona” (1996), “Thik Achhe Bondhu” (1999), “Ami Tomader E Lok” (2003), “Jonota Express” (2005) and “Kal Jomuna” (2007).
