Biographies
James Scott - Songwriter/Guitar/Vocals
Born in the year of punk to an Anglo-Indian Karate teacher father and an English mother in a multi-cultural satellite of London, James was a hyperactive child raised on a diet of Catholicism, Buddhism and Star Wars, before being thrust into adulthood through the thick tar of life's loves and losses, leading him to rock music as the most appropriate form of self-expression.
