Mr. Davenport was raised on a small farm in Cleveland. His first few years were turned out to be quite influential for him in his development as an artist. James had a genetic mutation (which he grew out of?) where his hair grew at an incredibly speedy rate. As a result, he became best friends with a barber who lived a few miles from his farm. That barber's name was Drew Carey. Mr. Carey quickly realized young Mr. Davenport's musical potential when James insisted on singing during his hair cuts.
