This is what pro-mastering engineers have said of James’ mixes; My impression after listening to your mixes is very good. They are well balanced and should produce very good masters. I would put them in the top 20% of indie mixes that come to my lab. Actually many professional studios here in Los Angeles could be put to shame by your mixes. Art Mastering (USA) The song is perfect. We will have no problem with the mastering. By the way, what a beautiful song!! Your music is amazing in its ability to transform my perceptions..... each with a unique effect on the senses. Earle Holder - PUBLIC ENEMY Hdqtrz Digital Mastering Studios

Dan Clark studied for 3 years at Nexus Institute of Creative Arts and then completed a music performance degree at Coventry University. Since 2013, my playing has taken me all of the world working as a performer, musical director, producer and teacher. Including  live performances and product demonstrations at the NAMM show, LA and Musikmesse, Germany for NORD Keyboards and work in Dubai and Dallas – all of which I have been privileged to do with some of my best friends in the industry. I also work as a producer and musical director and love the creative process of working taking an initial song and creating the complete sound and arrangement. I also create backing tracks that are ready for professional live performance and advise on incorporating music technology into a live show.
