James Reid

Hailing from Manchester (U.K), this male vocalist has a genuine passion for making music that evokes emotions and feelings with the inner meanings of the music. Music is in his blood he grew up with an established successful soul, jazz and blues singer in the family. He draws from a lot of influences but his music is his own, he lures you in with his melody and "BLAM" he hits you where you feel it, this featured artist is.... JAMES REID.

Drawing his inspirations from the likes of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Billie Paul & Stevie Wonder to name a few, his music is modern soul for the old school lover and you can tell he loves what he does, whether it's in the studio or just the buzz of being on-stage, these moments also inspire him giving his music a depth and warmth that makes it so you could listen to this talented guy, whatever your mood.

James loves performing live, he gets a real buzz from being on-stage and engaging with his audience and it shows with his ever (and well deserved) expanding fanbase.

When it comes to music he believes that every song should be a story, from start to finish a song is a tale to captivate, to inspire and to enjoy and draw your own meaning from and he delivers this with proud, harmonious vocals and a sound that you could instantly recognize should you hear it again.

Inbetween time in the Studio, James also showcases his talents across venues in his native area, Manchester having appeared on many stages with the goal to grow his audience and get his name out there.

At present James is also busy working on new material alongside some also awesome collaborators, his upcoming goals are an E.P and an album on the horizon.
