Biography
Becca James is a London-based spiritual alt-pop artist-writer and co-producer whose music weaves together threads of folk, electronic, and soul to create immersive, emotionally resonant sonic worlds. With soulful vocals and poignant lyricism, she explores themes of trauma, identity, recovery, and transformation; both personal and collective. Through her lived experience of generational trauma, scoliosis surgery and a long recovery journey with chronic illness, Becca’s work delves into the complexities of healing, finding voice and strength in vulnerability.
In 2025, Becca James unveils her most expansive and intimate work to date with God in Chains, her debut album. Released in sync with the moon phases, the project is mixed in both Dolby Atmos and Stereo, pairing rich sonic depth with striking visual aesthetics rooted in goddess archetypes. The album’s singles 'God in Chains', 'Holy Bed', and 'Revolution' lead up to the release of Vol. 1 in autumn, with the final single 'Bloom' rounding out the cycle. These songs form a narrative arc of death, rebirth, and self-realisation.
A passionate live performer and wellness advocate, Becca blends her ethereal sound with reflective, intimate experiences, co-hosting spiritual circles and healing workshops including appearances at Lindisfarne Festival that incorporate yoga, meditation, and live music. Her 2024 UK mini-tour included performances at Hyde Park Book Club, The Folklore Rooms, Camden Chapel, The Ned’s New Music Monday, and the Global Youth Awards at the Troxy London.
Becca first garnered attention with her debut EP Trust the Season (2023), a three-track collection released across the full moons, supported by Spotify editorial placements and BBC Introducing. She followed with 'If You’re Not Home', a collaboration with Mark Stoney, released via AWAL in early 2024. Her collaborative track 'Can’t Stop My Shine' with US producer Soulplusmind was featured in Netflix’s Wellmania with Celeste Barber.
As a songwriter, Becca works across genres including pop, soul, and dance. Under the alias Trust the Season, she creates for sync and topline collaborations. Recent releases include 'Honey Moon' with Nbdy Nprtnt and A&G Sync. She has co-written with and for artists in the UK and Europe through songwriting camps hosted by Tileyard Education, Live Now Play Later, and Noatune Studios. Becca's songwriting cuts can be found here, with notable collaborations with Cheska Moore and Al Coffey.
Becca also lends her voice to session and choir work, notably with GeO Gospel Choir on releases through Join Our Revival Records, including tracks recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Other features include the musical performance film Alone with Tranza Studio and producer JAPP.
This year, James steps fully into a new chapter with God in Chains, a defining moment of sonic and spiritual transformation rooted in resilience, mysticism, 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]
