FILM COMPOSER
"Hi, I'm James...
Your film is my canvas for musical storytelling. Let's create something special.
Since my early days in high school, composing for film has been my passion. Today I am a full time freelance composer and graduate of Leeds Conservatoire with first class honours in Film Music.
My music is about emotion, character and immersion. I am an orchestral composer at heart and I love to carve memorable melodies out for strong harmonic structures. Synthesisers and found sounds are not uncommon in my music either, as I like to create a unique soundscape for each project."
James is part of the Engrave Production Music label and has also gone onto work as a media composer in film, documentary & series. James has also provided additional work in music preparation, song arrangement and orchestration.
