James Delisco Beeks under the alias 'Delisco James' was recently awarded by Akademia music awards "best song December 2015', in the Children's category, with his single "Knick Knack song" . 'Steamrolling out of the gates, this children's song rides a bluesy, and melodic rock score to deliver its exceptional message.' The Knick Knack song is unofficially released and is the follow-up to his first single release "Lock you in", which is placed in the movie trailer of the comedic spoof starring Marlon Wayans and Jane Seymour titled Fifty Shades of Black".

Broadway, Reality TV, Las Vegas, and Recording Star, James ‘Delisco’ Beeks "‘The Entertainer,” is often described as a cross between Michael Jackson, Terrence Trent Darby, Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Wonder, and Bruno Mars…is currently recording his new single with a scheduled single release in 2019.

'James was personally invited and has performed with the Jackson brothers in concert. He just recently returned to Windborne’s ‘Music of Michael Jackson’ Symphonic international tour headlining as the voice and dance of the late ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson to rave reviews booked though 2019. After a brief hiatus from the show, which he originated in 2010 Delisco, a 5-octave countertenor, not only sings the Music of Michael Jackson, he takes on the moves of MJ near perfectly adding his own signature style.

With an up to 80 piece orchestra behind him the audiences leave spellbound and inspired with memories that lasts a lifetime.'Bringing you piercing, powerful vocals, live band production, innovative dance moves and undeniable stage presence. His soul sublime and frayed original music is where classic quality meets edgy rock and southern soul style.’

He is winner of the reality TV show "The Entertainer" starring Mr. Las Vegas who crowned him "The Entertainer" and awarded him a production contract to perform in Las Vegas for a limited run to rave reviews.
