Bio
James is 21, and thus far too cool to have a bio. He has, however, been playing drums since he was 12, being taught by both Fozzy Dixon (The Contrast) and Spike T Smith (The Damned, Morrissey, many others). Currently he’s studying Music Performance at ACM Guildford, who generously let him go at weekends when we need him!
He lives in constant hope that Muse will someday release a country song, and in the meantime, persists in sneaking Dom Howard drum riffs into Sara Evans songs.
