About Me

I edited my profile at MySpaceSupport.com , check out these Myspace Layouts !
James was born and raised in Mississauga. Music has always been an important aspect of his life. At the age of six, he started to study the piano and a year later he took up the guitar. Although he mainly studied classical guitar, during his spare time James explored other forms including rock, blues and jazz. The fall of 2000, James was accepted in to the Bachelors of Music program at Wilfrid Laurier Univeristy, where he graduated five years later with an Honours Comprehensive Degree. During his time at university, James and his fellow musician studenst formed a classic rock band called Straighten My Wookie. Though it only last two years, they perfomed in various establishements in Waterloo and Mississauga.
After graduataion, James and three solid musicians came together to form a cruise ship band called Ocean’s 4. After numerous shows, and several attempts to land a gig, the band was forced to split, due to members persuing other oppurtuniites. It was not untill the summer of 2006, that James repsonded to add on the internet for a band that was looking for a guitar player. This band turned out to be the number one showband The Stingrays. For the next year James toured the Caribbean with this top notch act on the finest ships that Royal Caribbean had to offer.
James is always interested in getting involved in various music projects. He has great experience as a performer, producer, composer, and instructor. More details about him can be viewed about him at his website. James can be contacted at [email protected] or 416 732 4360.
