James was born in Bridgeport Connecticut on March 28, 1975 to Donald & Elaine Norkawich and from there the story begins. From the age of 3, James had shown interest in the chord organ, so his grandfather Albert Kaufman ( who played organ by ear and formed the first amatuer society in Connecticut CVTOS - The Connecticut Valley Theatre Organ Society.) James at the age of 5, started studying with Verelli Music Studios in Bridgeport Connecticut. After studying a few years on the piano he then began intensive studies in organ with Frank Markham from Westport Music located in Westport Connecticut. Throughout grammar school and grammar school James became proficient in both piano and organ. From the age of 9-14, James had won numerous awards such as the coveted WICC 600 am talent contest, was featured in many newspapers and local events that featured up and coming artists. When James attended high school he was accepted in a program in the arts which in addition to your high school day it was comprised of going to The University of Bridgeport and studying Jazz Theory & Composition and Midi Studies with industry professionals in the field. The program was called Regional Center For The Arts. Regional Center For The Arts went from a small program consisting of 40 students to over 100 currently and is now part of CES in Trumbull Connecticut. Regional Center was the platform which propelled James to a career in Music. In the summer of 1993, James was awarded a full 4 year scholarship in music to the University of Bridgeport and earned a BA in Music Performance and then was then awarded a scholarship for his Masters (MA in Music Education) Even though James was accepted to 5 of the 6 colleges in music he felt that The University Of Bridgeport offered the best skill set based on the schools history.
