James is one of the most distinct and distinguished individuals I’ve worked with in the music and events industry. His vision for any event, production (big or small) or artist is curated with the creativity of the artists/music genre as the driving force. He takes the time to really understand the creative material, before weaving it into an event or venue and I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing this a decade with small (<50) and larger (1500+) live music events, in both organising with James and booking James as an artist. Shoulder-shakingly good, every time.

I have worked with James for many years as a trusted consultant in my role as culture manager at Red Bull. James' knowledge, passion, and hard work have meant that he was always the first person I turned to for any project within my role. James is someone who I trust implicitly, and his character is beyond reproach. I cannot recommend working with James enough.

SHAUN WARNER Red Bull, Culture Manager, DJ Music Producer, Dubai UAE

I met James in Dubai in 2017. We instantly recognised each other's ethics and have worked together ever since. It's easier to say that he's a real one in the world of music and culture. His ingenuity around cultured events to create stronger links between communities; is original and thoughtful. Needless to say, he's a true music nerd, always searching to find the latest tastemakers and artists to elevate through his channels. James really is a pleasure to work with, as his "we can do it" attitude and smile create ease in any difficult situation.

James is one of the rare individuals in the music business that still truly loves music and does this work for the love of it. Whether as DJ, promoter, planner, or overall connector, he always seeks to showcase the best in the SWANA region. It's always a pleasure when we get to work together.
