But this unemployed young man’s whole life changed after his memorable audition on The X Factor. And we all love a good underdog story!

Jesus often sought out the broken, the poor, the homeless, and those who lived on the fringe of society. James was one of those people who lived on the fringe but was created to do something great. After ending up in foster care, James turned to music as a way to cope. 

He knew then that he had to find a way to make a better life for himself. “One day, I had to stop behaving like a child and just grow up,” he said. After this realization, God began working on his heart as James poured himself into his music.

James' mother said there had been times when she’s listened to her son's original songs and thought his lyrics were deep and full of soul. When James Arthur decided to audition for the X Factor, his prayers had come true. Both sides of his family set aside their differences and came together to support him. 

He said it was the first time in 22 years that his parents had been in the same room. How incredible is that?
