His music often explores psychological tension and emotional depth, creating immersive sonic worlds across drama, thriller, documentary, and horror.
James’ recent credits include the Channel 4 thriller series In Flight, the Channel 5 drama Ellis, and the Irish supernatural horror The Morrigan, directed by Colum Eastwood — a continuing creative collaboration following their feature Black Medicine.
His work spans festival selections, award-winning films, and internationally distributed documentaries. Notable credits include the Sundance-premiering Bad Day for the Cut, the Galway Film Fleadh winner The Dig, and two documentaries with award-winning producer Trevor Birney — the true-crime series The Dakota Entrapment Tapes and the 2024 feature documentary Mitchel, which explores US Senator George Mitchell’s central role in the Northern Ireland peace process.
Before moving into scoring, James worked in commercial electronic music, producing and remixing tracks for artists such as P!nk, Flo Rida, Samantha Mumba, and Cascada. This background continues to shape his signature hybrid scoring style — textural, rhythmic, emotional, and sonically adventurous.
James is based in Northern Ireland and composes for film, television, documentary, and genre projects across the UK and internationally.
