J London

James “J London” Brittan was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Truly gifted as an exceptional singer and musician, he has undoubtedly made his mark in the world of music and entertainment!

For over twenty years, James has committed himself to being the best he could be, by honing the musical talents that were ever present since he was very young. In the fall of 1973, James started college at Fairmont State in West Virginia. He quickly became a reputable solo act , gracing the West Virginia campus coffee house circuit. Being an aspiring actor also, James found time to work with the Fairmont State Community Theater Series. After graduating in 1977, a new era began, boosting James’ professional career. He responded to a once-in-a lifetime opportunity and traveled with Philadelphia International recording artist, The O’Jays, as a roadie on their 20th anniversary tour. Seating himself in both producers and directors chairs for his solo project, “Thank you Lady”, along with being a talented and actual performing artist, “Frisky” London became his early stage name. He has since become “J London” after signing with the San-Ton/Bluegill Record & Management Family.

As the novice phases of his musical career have transitioned into a fully-developed knowledge of “how it’s done” – his sound grows more polished and seasoned! On top of his previous accomplishments, J London was nominated in the 1995 Grammy Awards for the Best R&B Male Vocal Performance, Best R&B Album, and Best R&B Song for his “Thank You Lady” CD. He was also a nominee in the Composing and Arrangement field. J London also performs as a featured vocalist with The Band of Friends, a Columbus-based soulful smooth jazz band. You can hear the effects of J London’s many years of devotion and experience on his latest CD entitled “Feel The Need” on Uncle Fats Records.

Jerome VanSchaik Author Talk

  • Global Gallery Coffee Shop (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Jerry is America’s premier coffee novelist, perhaps because he is the only one. He has written two full length novels with titles too coffee centric for most, Tripio and The Trier. Jerry began his career in coffee during the late 1980s. He has done a variety of jobs in the coffee business, from throwing 132 pound bags of green coffee off the back of a semi to throwing drunken customers out of his pioneering Starbucks store in Chicago. As a result he is able to create worlds where coffee is nearly a living character and not a trendy plot affectation.


Jerry began journaling and writing after leaving college and worked twenty years in coffee. Writing has always been a type of meditative practice for him. In order to keep his mind in a place of energized calm so that he can sit down to write, he does yoga, meditates, journals, reads and tries not to take it all too seriously. His four young adult children make sure of that.
