Since graduating with a degree in musical theatre from Guildford School of Acting I've been lucky enough to spend the past 18 years performing across 6 continents in beautiful theatres, hotels, wedding venues and aboard luxury cruise liners, so if you choose me for your event you'll be in safe hands! I take pride in my versatility and cover a wide range of styles including swing, acoustic, pop, soul & Motown, classical and musical theatre. I can also act as host & compere for your event and am equally at home singing heartfelt ballads as I am getting the party started.

James' Reviews

5 out of 5

Thank you so much for being part of our wedding at The Wellbeing Farm on 17 January 2026. Your kindness, care and effort meant the world to us and made our day truly unforgettable. James provided a bespoke musical experience which elevated our wedding to the next level. He sent content and demos to review before our big day and explained he can perform most songs on request. James has a great vocal range covering a whole genre of music. He can provide background music, and encourages audience participation, as and when required. His rendition of Nessun Dorma is simply breathtaking! We’re grateful we got to experience James’s talent and would highly recommend him as an event singer, we look forward to hearing him sing again.

We are so grateful to have been introduced to James at our menu tasting because on our wedding day he made the day so much more! He brought such an energy and interactivity to the day and to our wedding breakfast - which can often be a bit of a lull in the day. Every one of our guests complimented us on his performance and how much fun and joy he brought to the day. For us though the cherry on top was he performed our first dance song for which we are forever grateful 🙏 From start to finish James' communication was flawless and efficient and allowed us to create the day we wanted. I would 100% recommend James. Not only is he a fantastic singer and performer he is a genuinely lovely person which is obvious from every interaction you have with him.
