I love the music and energy that emerge from artists who make their multi-creative sides shine together contagiously. One such artist is James Berkeley.As an instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer, James has established himself in the UK jazz, soul, and R&B scenes through a wide range of musical projects.Whether delivering electrifying live performances with his band Yakul or working behind the scenes producing and writing for other artists, he’s built an impressive reputation.He’s worked extensively with legendary jazz outfit Incognito, and his collaboration with R&B powerhouse Mereba has racked up over a million streams, all leading up to Yakul’s acclaimed 2021 debut, Rise Indigo.Now, James is stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist—plus, his debut album drops this year!Beyond his music, James is passionate about sharing his journey.
