A classically trained singer with a degree in music from the University of South Carolina, several years ago Ms. James decided to add acting to her repertoire of talents, landing roles on NBC's "Law & Order", "Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit" and "Homicide: Life on the Street".

Recently, Connie put together a performance piece that can only be described as "ambitious". The work is an attempt to cover a broad spectrum of American life through a song series comprised of songs from the Great American Songbook. The piece is entitled " Connie James: Raising the Bar-Love Songs From the Great American Songbook, Then and Now". The show has received rave reviews from the New York music and theatre communities, and there will be encore presentations of it coming in 2011.
