Biography
Becca James is a London-based spiritual alt-pop artist and songwriter originally from the North of England. Her cinematic sound blends pop, folk and soul influences, while her organic vocals and lyricism explore trauma, recovery, identity and transformation. Drawing on her lived experiences of scoliosis surgery and illness in her younger years, Becca’s music finds strength in vulnerability and celebrates resilience.
Her debut EP Trust the Season (2023) was released across full moons, earning a Spotify editorial placement. She followed with If You’re Not Home (2024), a collaboration with Mark Stoney, alongside a collaboration 'Can’t Stop My Shine' with US producer Soulplusmind, which later featured in Netflix’s Wellmania, starring Celeste Barber.
In 2025, Becca unveiled her debut album God in Chains, part-licensed via YR Records and mixed in Dolby Atmos. Released in sync with the moon phases, the album pairs sonic depth with goddess-inspired visuals, tracing a cycle of death, rebirth and self-realisation through singles 'God in Chains', 'Holy Bed', 'Revolution' and 'Bloom'. The project continues to evolve through a wider body of work exploring mysticism, resilience and the healing power of music.
The album has drawn praise from Clash Magazine, describing her sound as “recalling early AURORA, London Grammar, or Florence & The Machine at her spiritual best,” alongside support from Radio 1’s Jess Izzatt, who celebrated James’ “gorgeous vocals” on the hypnotic track Echo Chamber, featuring Mark Stoney. BBC Introducing in the North East also supported the album with a live session alongside presenter Shakk.
Becca has built a strong live track record, with headline shows at The Folklore Rooms and Camden Chapel, showcases at Stereo Covent Garden, The Ned and Sofar Newcastle, and standout performances at the Global Youth Awards. Following a three-date UK support tour with soulful artist Matreya (FKA Mason Noise), she performed on the BBC Introducing Stage at Stockton Calling Festival in April 2026, with an upcoming Sofar Leicester performance this autumn.
She has also co-hosted and performed at wellness events, including Lindisfarne Festival’s Wellbeing Tent in 2024. Alongside her music career, Becca is now expanding into sound healing, completing her Professional Diploma in Group Sound Therapy with the British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST) and offering sound healing experiences for private clients, community spaces, retreats and companies.
Alongside her solo artistry, Becca has collaborated widely across the UK and Europe, writing for and alongside a range of artists and producers, including Cheska Moore. Her recent credits include “Consider Me”, a co-write featured on Eva McBel’s forthcoming album To All the People I’ve Loved, due for release on 1 October 2026.

Her collaborative songwriting experience also includes camps with Elements Publishing Helsinki and AWAL through Tileyard Education, as well as work with the DPA (Danish Professional Songwriters/Producers Association) and Noatune Studios. As a session vocalist, James features on tracks with GeO Gospel Choir (Abbey Road Studios) and Tranza Studio’s performance film Alone.
In 2026, Becca continues to step fully into her defining vision with God in Chains, a transformative body of work rooted in mysticism, resilience and the healing power of music.

“[God in Chains] starts like a drizzle over the Tyne and ends like a full blown North Sea Storm. She's not just embracing vulnerability, but turning it into a superpower." [Shakk, BBC Intro in the North East]
‘Bloom’ radiates with beauty – a vision of Spring energy, it’s dappled with light, the precocious digi-pop format recalling early Aurora, London Grammar, or Florence & The Machine at her spiritual best. [Clash Magazine]
