With Karise Eden
Working with local artists within Australia and artists all over the world from the JNP Studio, James is also a session musician, playing and writing parts for guitar, bass, keys and drums on numerous studio recordings. As a result, solo artists can complete projects without needing to hire external session musicians, and band members can work with someone who truly understands their instrument.
