James has been composing music from an early age. Starting out as a classically trained vocalist performing at various prestigious venues around the UK and Europe. 

This appreciation for choral and classical music developed into a strong passion for synthesiser focussed contemporary music and hybrid film scores.

Heavily influenced by artists such as Mica Levi, Vangelis, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow, Ennio Morricone & S U R V I V E.

James is also part of the electronic duo Bird Noire. This project has released two studio EPs, and gauged success with three synchronisation deals on US TV shows. Bird Noire have enjoyed air time on BBC Radio 1, and have been showcased on Bristol’s BBC Introducing, kicking off the inaugural ‘White Room Sessions’ with an electric live performance. 

James naturally gravitates towards films that allow for a dark and emotive score to be created, however is equally adept in producing a wide array of sonic motifs for any given project.

Dedicated and professional, James has a willingness to communicate clearly with directors to achieve the best possible outcome for the film and soundtrack.
