ABOUT

British Musician, based in the UK, Would love to work in USA if a project is financially viable

Ex musician and producer, rediscovered the passion over lockdown, and also learned to sing over lockdown.
Looking to get back in the game. My main instrument is Piano/Keys and definitely have a lot to add to a project creatively. Prefer studio work, but would consider the right king of live project/tour
Genres: rock, singer/songwriter, acoustic, folk, adult contemporary

Had spent my previous years as a musician trying to find talented singers to work with and eventually quit the industry after producing a fairly well known artist.

Spent recent years keeping an eye of for singers to possibly pursue something again but it was just an endless line of flaky unreliable singers so stopped looking.
Over lockdown started to write with no real purpose and before I knew I was developing my own voice and wrote about 30 songs.
A few demo clips of some of them are here:
s:///christianjamescreative/sets/my-song-demos
I’m playing everything on these, all live playing apart from drums played on keys via midi.
Other examples of work available.

Only gonna be interested in projects with a decent budget and at studios with the instruments needed, but location isn’t an issue, I travel all over in a small campervan.
Best to get me on christianjamescreative
