About Me

Hi, my name is James Slater. I was born in Derbyshire, England. I immigrated to Calgary, Alberta in 2001. For three years I was the "Mick Jagger" in a Rolling Stones cover band. Around this time I started writing songs of my own.

Later I picked up the guitar and my musical interest developed to include Jakob Dylan, Ron Sexsmith, and Iron and Wine. These and other artists have had a major influence on my style. I like to experiment with my songs, changing the arrangement to suit the phase I am currently going through. In my lyrics I try and capture events in everyday life and express what I see in a song.

Thanks for taking the time to come to myspace and to listen to my music, which I hope you enjoyed.
