Byron James

The biggest kid you will ever meet, Byron was born and raised in North Vancouver and remained a true North Shore boy until the ripe old age of 21. Then, he sought to leave the nest. While many head to New York, Los Angeles or even London to find fame and fortune, Byron chose to seek stardom in…Edmonton? Oh well. It was there that Byron found his love of country-rock.

Returning to live in Vancouver, Byron’s musical tastes expanded to include all genres. Music and entertainment became his passion.

This passion took him in the direction of radio. A graduate from BCIT Polytechnical Institute in Radio Broadcast communications, and backed by an additional diploma in Hospitality Administration, Byron was hired at JRFM in 1999.

On weekends, he currently is an on-air personality at Canada’s number one country radio station, while running Echo One Productions Inc., his entertainment company which he formed in the spring of 2000.

Byron’s personal and business philosophy is simple. Incorporate common sense into everything you do. Combine this with the drive and determination to never quit, work hard and have fun along the way and that’s at the core of Mr. James.

“Lead through example, have innovative thinking, and treat people like you would like to be treated…sounds pretty hoaky, but it’s true…..maybe it can be summed up easier by: Get it or get out”.
