James Ken Blackmon

After initially establishing himself as an actor, James faced a major setback in the form of a severe motorcycle accident that left him unable to walk for nearly a year. However, as soon as he received the green light from his doctors, he returned to the industry, securing his second ad-campaign with the legendary Harley-Davidson brand.

Since then, James has worked alongside influential figures such as Beyoncé in the music video "Formation", shared the screen with Eric Roberts in the film "Tacoma", contributed to Katy Perry's hit music video "Harleys In Hawaii", and joined forces with Danny Trejo in the film "Candy Flip". James then moved on to earn himself Producer and Executive Producer credits on the short form documentary "Sugar & Spade", commemorating African-American motorcycle culture. James continues on his journey as a filmmaker with his directorial debut on the short film "Recovery Phase," a project he also produced and acted in.
