Stellar award winning James Fortune releases new single “FOR A LONG TIME (LIVE)”
Now residing in Birmingham, AL, James Fortune’s strength is in understanding how to put gospel and praise songs over to a millennial audience, and with his featured choir, FIYA (which stands for Free in Yahweh’s Abundance), he freely incorporates hip-hop arrangements and urban beats into his recordings.

His recordings include: The Transformation (2007) – which featured the single “I Trust You”, charted at No. 1 on Gospel radio for 25 weeks and No. 30 on Urban AC charts. His first live album, the two-disc Live Through It, appeared early in 2014. Fortune’s 2019 album, DREAM AGAIN, birthed the long-running Billboard #1 hit, I AM. Fortune’s most recent EP, WORTH IT, featured the #1 single “Trusting God” with Monica and “Voyage” with Waka Flocka.
