short biography

Born in the south-east of England, in one of the towns of Essex, he and his family moved to London as a child. From an early age, parents began to notice a large amount of music in a baby. James's extraordinary abilities helped him effortlessly master various musical instruments. Having started to study at the age of seven, by the age of eight he could already play the piano, flute and saxophone. The music was so fascinating to the boy that at the age of 10, when his peers were fond of computers or walking in the street, he constantly sat down at a musical instrument.
After a while, much older, the young man began working as a DJ in nightclubs. It was then that he came up with a cherished desire: to create music, similar to the one that sounded from the discs he scrolled. The dream came true, but not immediately: only in 26 years, James released his first single. It was a remix of the song "Fast Car", which in 1988 was composed and recorded by the talented American singer Tracy Chapman.
