James Leroy was born in Ottawa, Ontario and spent his childhood and adolescence in Martintown, Ontario before returning to Ottawa. His music career commenced as a folk singer and songwriter for local bands. Local impresario Harvey Glatt agreed to produce and manage Leroy. Glatt produced Leroy's first single, "Touch of Magic", which reached Number 6 on the Canadian Top Singles Chart, published by RPM Magazine. Glatt also arranged for Adam Mitchell to produce the subsequent album, James Leroy and Denim, released by GRT Records in 1973. Denim, Leroy's supporting group, included Gary Comeau, one of the founding members of The Esquires, a nationally recognized Canadian band and Val Tuck. Two further singles from the album, "You Look Good in Denim" and "Make It All Worthwhile" were top 20 Canadian singles.

Leroy dissolved Denim in 1974 and attempted to develop a solo career; two singles were produced by Ian Thomas, but were not successful. An anticipated solo album did not materialize and shortly thereafter at the age of 32, Leroy killed himself in an Ottawa hotel on May 10, 1979.
