Early life[edit]
James began making music aged 10. As a multi-instrumentalist he has been involved in many bands since his early teenage years - starting out in jazz but soon moving on to death metal and folk.[2] His style is notable for transcending genres particularly to the genre Dubstep.[3] His original work, remixes and productions combine elements of syncopated organic percussion, classical piano, sub bass and cinematic orchestral soundscapes.
2009-present: Mainstream success[edit]
In 2009, he shot to fame after appreciation in the blog world for his bootleg of Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed".[4] In November 2009, he was given his first airplay on national radio when his remix of Ellie Goulding's "Under the Sheets" was played on BBC Radio 1 as Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record In The World'. (A title which has since been given to "Electrify" and "Please".)[5]
Jakwob released his debut single "Here with Me" on his own label, Boom Ting Recordings on 13 September 2010.[6]

Is the drummer and co-producer of the band "Get Hot" whose debut single "Party" was released on Lucky Number Music on 8 May 2014.
