I have had the pleasure of being James's tutor on many occasion's as well as having given him some one to one tutorials. James is a developing keyboard player and song writer. It has been interesting watching his development from when he joined ACM some years ago. His technicals skills have improved steadily and his confidence has made him able to perform to a professional level showing genuine talent and intent. His original songs are of a high standard and they demonstrate a mature understanding of song craft with evidence of technicality. Clever interval rhymes and interesting cadences can be found in his work. His inspirations are obvious and he has entered the domain of the classic artist pulling on the artistry the likes of The Beatles. bringing a contemporary take on it. he is charming and respectful. Always open to suggestions that he can consider before moving on. He has a genuine desire and calling to be working at the highest level in the industry and I look forward to seeing him progress successfully on that journey. Mark Taylor ACM Senior Tutor
