Record Production
+ Sound Engineering

James began recording music in high school, and probably definitely spent more time in his teens recording than going to school.  After a few years working as the music and post production engineer at a cutting edge computer graphics and animation facility, James moved to Chicago.

Since arriving in Chicago, James has worked in many of the city's top studios, including CRC, Studio Chicago, Chicago Trax, Streeterville, Metropolis, and others.
