Ryan A. James

Producer, Vocalist, Remixer

Ryan A. James on SoundBetter

I'm a Welsh-native musician, producer and vocalist with over a decade's full-time experience. I've worked with labels large and small (Universal, [PIAS] etc.) and my vocal collaborations have in the past reached #1 in the iTunes Electronic chart, as well as been playlisted on Spotify (Röyksopp, CYA). I also have a remix CV that's as long as my arm.

As as remixer, I take a slightly different approach to most. I give 110%, often completely reworking a song, and when it feels right I have been known to include my own vocals in some of my remixes. Credit highlights would include M83, Band of Skulls, Moby, Empathy Test, Interpol, ionnalee (iamamiwhoami), Active Child, Chad Valley, Carlosh Garzat, Röyksopp, Conformist and many more.

By this point I ought to mention that I also am a solo artist in my own right, and have released several albums under my creative moniker Man Without Country. My sound could be described as electronic, alternative, synthwave, shoegaze - but you should probably listen and decide for yourself. As an artist first and foremost I understand the importance of recognising the artist's vision.

When it comes to vocal collaborations my voice tends to lend itself to world of electronic dance music, which has seen me work with numerous acts like CYA and Yotto, as well as several and ongoing works with Röyksopp, as noted above. Having said that, I've also sung on music by more left-field European electronic music artists such as Tungorna (Sweden) and Phallen (Turkey).

I'm highly competent in many areas of music production; including recording and mixing. I own an array of vintage analog and digital synthesizers, as well as my own self-built studio. Get in touch with your project and let's work together.
