About Me

"Try me, oh take me for a little while, before it's over and you leave me with just a smile.. Try me, oh let me be the one. You say it's over, but for me it had just begun.." UFO
Hey, I'm James!
I was born in Leicester, England. So there that is. I'm English, with a dash of Irish and French somewhere along the line. Read on :D
I enjoy composing and producing melodic/uplifting trance tracks and film scores. I co-own and am the Head of Label at Moonrising Records.
I guess there's a lot to tell about me. I was home schooled until I was 15, did 3 years of 6th form focussing the most on media/art/photography.
I'm quite old skool generally, appreciating the simple things as well as, mm, everything else. For instance: open fires, staring at stars, holding hands, reflecting to some old music, being sentimental... dunno =]
If I go out it tends to be with friends or to travel around by myself on the train, maybe hang out with Zedii somewhere new. Cinema, bowling. I'm more of an events peep.
I'm an adventurer at heart, be it planning on roaming Egypt, Cambodia, Kenya, other ancient places or gazing at the stars, that is what I am. Climber, explorer.
"If I had the choice of hanging out with anyone in the entire world, or sitting at home with you eating pizza and watching a crappy TV show, I'd choose you everytime." J.D. (Scrubs)
