Band to Join.ABOUT
Hi. My name is James, I'm a 23 year old keys player, just graduated from London Centre of Contemporary Music.
I mostly play jazz, as well as different styles of "world music", mostly from Africa and Latin America.
I'm a fan of 60's/70's psychedelic music and acid folk too.
I can also compose and I regularly write songs and lyrics.
