Sony, Spinnin' Records, Ultra, Toolroom, and I've had tracks played on BBC Radio 1, SKY, Capital, Netflix and tracks played by the top Dj's in the world.

I am based in Manchester (UK) and over the last 14 years and counting, I have developed a lot of skills in different genres such as EDM, Hip Hop, Pop, Trance, House & Trap. I specialize in House, Pop & Mainstream music as well as underground genres such as Techno, Tech-House, and Experimental Future/Rnb/Hip Hop

I offer a range of versatile skills to add to your tracks or I can create from scratch. I can make a full production around your initial song ideas, or if you need that extra 10% to get your track finished... I am your man! I offer unlimited revisions as I think it's important we get it right the first time...every time. I have never had an unhappy client

    Had a great time working with James! He listened to everything I asked for and took everything on board and implemented it to the track. Not to mention the track we worked on together was the quickest turnaround of a project I've worked on which was great. Highly recommend working with James as he's a true professional with great experience and will take your music to the next level!

    It was a super working with James. We really did not know what we wanted but gave him some ideas and he took over. James created a beat that we just love and the studio up here in New York City was floored with awe and we are cutting it with lyrics and melody this week. We are very excited to have worked with James and already thinking of our next project with him. Thanks James!!!

    James S is an amazing guy. He helped me finish a track I had been working on for a long time. He really knew what would make the track the best version of itself, and he was really patient with me during the process! He is a great guy!! 11 of 10 would recommend. Looking forward to working together on the next track!
