A native of Los Angeles, James Intveld started his career at an early age. By high school he was playing in cover bands and was soon a regular sitting in with the house band at the legendary Palomino Club. Initially, Intveld worked with his younger brother Ricky and friend Pat Woodward in a band known as the Rockin' Shadows. The group dissolved when Ricky and Woodward left to work with Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band; both later died in the same airplane accident that took the life of Nelson.
During the cow punk movement of the '80s, Intveld was working the same clubs as Dwight Yoakam and Rosie Flores, playing his own brand of rockabilly. He so impressed Town South of Bakersfield producers Pete Anderson and Dusty Wakeman that he was included on the second volume of the compilation series.
Intveld wrote the Rosie Flores hit "Cryin' Over You" as well as all the material on his own first 1996 album, James Intveld. That was named the best studio recording project and the best country or roots CD of 1996 by California's Music Connection magazine. Intveld successfully produced, arranged, sang and played all the parts on this release.
He is currently on tour supporting the release of his third solo effort, Have Faith, on his independent record label, Molenaart. Of the ten tracks, seven are self-penned.
James has the uncanny ability to take you to church as he joins forces with the legendary Jordanaires on the gospel-tinged "Walk With Me," yet he’s just as adept at getting to the core of love and loss with his reflective ballad "A Woman's Touch," then quickly gets your foot tapping with his upbeat shuffle in "Let's Get Started." With the help of Country Music Hall of Fame steel master Lloyd Green, James revives the Johnny Paycheck standard "Motel Time" and pays tribute to Bakersfield pioneer Wynn Steward by revamping his ’60s hit " It's Such A Pretty World Today." James enlisted Nashville's A-team studio musicians to give it a modern sound, and with James' strong smooth vocal style, turned this into another classic country favorite.
Continuously cast in movies, TV and videos, James was the singing voice of Johnny Depp's character in the John Waters film "Cry Baby." Other credits include Sean Penn's directorial debut, "Indian Runner," "Thing Called Love," with River Phoenix, Billy Crystal's HBO production "61" and his most recent role staring beside Billy Bob Thorton in the motion picture "Chrystal." James recently finished filming his directorial debut, "Miracle at Sage Creek," with David Carradine.
