      5 Stars – A Brilliant Collaborator Who Delivers!

      I hired James to arrange the opening number for a major concert event, and he absolutely nailed it! From our first conversation, he understood my vision and brought it to life with creativity, precision, and professionalism. The arrangement was everything I hoped for—and more. James was incredibly organized, an excellent collaborator who welcomed feedback, and he hit every deadline with ease. Highly recommend to anyone looking for talent, reliability, and a great attitude. I will be working with him again!

      Working with James Richardson was an absolute pleasure. We recently collaborated on a song for a nonprofit fundraising event alongside another artist, and James brought an incredible depth of vision to the project. His skills in writing, scoring, and arranging are truly exceptional. From our first conversation, James demonstrated professional communication, a clear understanding of the project’s needs, and an impressive ability to articulate his creative direction. He did not disappoint — delivering a final product that exceeded expectations. I highly recommend James for any project.

      James is one of the most talented individuals I have had the privilege of working with. A year ago, we both produced a large, sold-out benefit concert, that would not have happened if it were not for his incredible attention to detail, organization, and visionary abilities. It is rare for a musician and arranger to not only be able to create stunning pieces of music, but also be able to lead projects with the mind of a COO. As a creative, he is a highly sophisticated problem solver. Having performed with world renowned musicians myself, I cannot recommend James enough. He is the best.

      I finally got the pleasure of working with James on a recording project! I had a great time providing female vocals for one of his arrangements. Files were organized and instructions were clear. I hope to work together again soon!
