About

"James Walker is one of the rarest types of songwriters. His music is intelligent, introspective, and yet melodious and infectious." - Overblown Magazine 


 

New single, Sane is out now. 


 

Ethereal alt-pop artist James Walker was born in the UK, but has spent the past three years travelling Europe and the United States honing his craft and performing as many shows as possible. 


 

Initially a session musician, James played on extensive tours with Adam Barnes, finding inspiration from and friends in artists he met along the way such as Richard Walters, Matt Simons and Chris Ayer. 


 

James underwent a significant heart surgery that pushed him to become a writer of his own accord. He recognised that life is short; a cornerstone in the stories that he tells in his music. 


 

His debut record English Bones (2017) gave James exposure to a global audience. Teams such as Alexrainbird granted millions of streams on YouTube, while international press via BBC & Huff Post, lead to James being handpicked by Spotify and Warner to appear on their ‘Easy’ and ‘Lazy Sunday Morning’ playlists. 


 

James has been writing with Judy Blank and Richard Walters - new music is launching over the rest of the year, produced by Sam Winfield (Amber Run, Bring Me The Horizon), and released via AWAL (Lauv, Bruno Major, Tom Misch) and Maximal Music Sync (Candi Staton, IYVES). 
 Frequently on the road.
