Biography
Drawing from a fusion of electronic, soul and folk genres, Becca James is a spiritual alt-pop artist and songwriter based in London. Originally based in the North of England, Becca moved to the capital in 2022 to study music at Tileyard Education. With soulful vocals and lyricism, her most recent collaborative track 'Can't Stop my Shine' with LA-based producer, Soulplusmind, has been placed in a new Netflix series, Wellmania, via Koze Music with Celeste Barber out on March 29th 2023.
As a songwriter Becca writes in a variety of pop, soul and dance genres with and for artists and has collaborated with exciting new talents on writing camps in the UK & Scandinavia through Tileyard, Live Now Play Later, DPA and Noatune Studios. Recent artist cuts include ‘Trauma’ and ‘Narcissist’ with Cloudkid artist Cheska Moore and production by Mahrow Music (GL Music/Apex One), alongside ‘Satellite’ with Al Coffey, written with Lillvi Agnarsson and Gevin Niglas (Elements Music). For pop toplines and sync music, Becca created a new writing alias 'Trust the Season' to release a new track 'Honey Moon' with Nbdy Nprtnt and A&G Sync on 24th January 2024.
Becca undertakes session work in the studio and for gigs as a vocalist and has recorded as a member of the GeO gospel choir for Join Our Revival Records at Abbey Road Studios on their project of recreating classic songs as house songs.

Released across the full moons of 2023, her artist project harnesses this powerful astrological energy to reflect the healing themes of the music. The opening single ‘One’ of her three-track collection, Trust the Season, was added to BBC Newcastle’s Introducing playlist across July, with the second single ‘Beauty’ landing Spotify editorial support on ‘an alternative future playlist’. The final track, ‘Hold You Close’, completed the EP on Friday, September 29th 2023.
