WATCH: Gavin James becomes first artist since Beastie Boys to perform on roof of Capitol Records

This boy is flying

Capitol Records has put Gavin James on a pedestal.

When he signed for the American record label earlier in the year we knew that the Dublin singer was finally getting the recognition and promotion his talent deserves.

Judging by this video, it’s pretty clear that Capitol have moved the Say Hello singer right to the top of their priority list, which shows him playing on the record company’s famous rooftop just off Hollywood Boulevard.

Have a look, the shots of the LA skyline at sunset from the tower are absolutely stunning.

Not since the Beastie Boys back in the late 80s has the Capitol tower roof been associated with any other artist.

James, who is currently on tour of America with Kodaline, will support Ed Sheeran in Croke Park on July 24.
