James Dewees Biography

James Dewees is one of the most popular and richest Rock Singer who was born on March 13, 1976 in Missouri, Missouri, United States. American musician notable for his work with the bands The Get Up Kids, Coalesce, My Chemical Romance, and Reggie and the Full Effect. He also released individual recordings with Leathermouth, New Found Glory, and Matt Pryor.

He was featured on Gerard Way‘s debut solo album Hesitant Alien.

Dewees graduated from Liberty High School in Liberty, Missouri in 1994. He started college at William Jewell College in Liberty later transferring to the University of Missouri to study music composition. In 1995, he was asked to replace Sean Ingram as vocalist for the Kansas City hardcore band Coalesce. This angered Ingram, and caused a fight that eventually broke the band up. However, in the summer of 1996, the band decided to re-form, but this time with James Dewees as a drummer. With them, he recorded the band’s first two full-length albums Give Them Rope and Functioning on Impatience. Dewees was later kicked out of college for missing too many classes while touring with the band.

In 1997, Coalesce played a music festival in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania with fellow Kansas-Citians The Get Up Kids. At the end of Coalesce’s set, they began smashing all of their equipment, and James picked up his Floor tom and threw it into the audience, hitting a girl on the head. Someone picked it up and tried to steal it, so James began chasing him, along with The Get Up Kids’ guitarist Jim Suptic. They started talking, and Suptic invited James to hang out with the rest of the band.

He was born and raised in Liberty, Missouri.
