Geem (James Williford) was born in Stuttgart, Germany. He has lived in and traveled through a broad range of countries and cultures. He picked up the name "Geem" during his childhood, from a Hawaiian friend's pronunciation of his first name.

His first musical instrument was the ukulele at age 8. By age 15, he was writing music and playing guitar professionally. He is convinced that music can provide a powerful and uniquely effective way to promote joy, community, and peace. He, Lynn Grissett (trumpet), and percussionist Larry Q Draughn Jr ("Que") are The Foyer, a band playing a blend of styles.
