James Maslow

Handsome singer-actor James Maslow has enjoyed worldwide fame as a member of Big Time Rush and as a star of the TV series of the same name. Born in New York in 1990 and raised in California, he started following his dreams of stardom early, singing and acting throughout childhood before graduating from the Coronado School of the Arts’ musical theater department. He spent four seasons starring as James Diamond in Nickelodeon’s series ‘Big Time Rush.’ Several successful recordings and global tours followed for the quartet. In 2014, Maslow parlayed his group’s popularity into a solo stint on the 18th season of ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Maslow and his partner Peta Murgatroyd earned the first perfect score of the season but were eliminated in the finals.
