Alex James

Pro Vocalist & Songwriter

Alex James on SoundBetter

I'm a multi-genre singer/songwriter who is CUSTOMER focused and passionate about bringing you vision to life through collaboration.

I'm a singer with over 13 years experience doing live performance and studio recording. I sing because it's IN me and it honestly one of the only things I truly love to do.
My voice is most comfortable in RnB, Soul or Gospel but it is versatile enough to cross over into other genres seamlessly.
A good thing to know about me is that I don't do profanity or mature content so please bear that in mind before reaching out!

The process:
Talk to me: Lay out you vision and let me hear what you have so far. We'll agree a timeline and set expectations.
I'll take it from here: I go away and do my thing. I'm happy to collaborate in whichever way works for you to make the process as smooth as possible.
Progress: Once ready, I'll send you a draft (usually in a few days) for you to send me notes for refinement (3 revisions are built in and further adjustments may be subject to a small fee depending on the size)
Delivery: Once you are happy with the finished product, I will deliver dry vocal stems.

Thanks for stopping by!

  19. Q: How would you describe your style?

  20. A: Soulful

  21. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  32. A: When an order is first placed, I make a point to get understand what my client wants and how best to achieve this. I try to get as close to that and also add some of my own ideas as an optional extra. I submit a draft for refinement and we keep working closely together until it's right.

  33. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  34. A: My recording space is mildly treated and I use Logic Pro as my DAW. I'm currently using a blue yeti mic for my project with the view of upgrading soon but I don't get any complaints from clients so if it ain't broke, why fix it?!

  35. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  36. A: I like songwriters who tell a story as it takes you on a journey. Vocally, I apprecite a singers who understand when to pull back and when to go all out.

  37. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  38. A: It really does vary! I would say singing for people's original songs though.
