James J
Singer Pianist
Summary

James is a singer/pianist based in Bedfordshire. James first discovered he could sing whilst listening to the Stevie Wonder records from his Dad’s vinyl collection. He then honed his vocal skills at his local church throughout his childhood whilst also learning classical piano.

After graduating from music college where he studied Jazz, James embarked on a career as a musician. Despite fronting bands and also writing much original music over the years, performing as a solo artist remains his number one passion.

James is simply one of the best performers in the business. He has a broad repertoire of pop, soul, R&B and swing covers and regularly performs at private events around the UK and beyond.  James often uses a looper and backing tracks to enhance his performances. He has 20+ years experience as a musician performing at thousands of events during this time.

James has performed at The Royal Albert Hall, The Teatre de Liceu in Barcelona and headlined London’s Jazz Cafe. Over the years, James has appeared with many established artists including Sting, Muse, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Mika and many others and previous clients include The Royal Family, Adidas, Google and the BBC.
