Bolton-born solo artist, and multi-instrumentalist, James Holt has long been championed by music industry giants, such as legendary producer Brian Eno, and the listening public alike.

​

With each of his releases he has demonstrated an impressive musical progression - a progression that has surely been recognised by listeners around the world after amassing 3 million streams, winning international songwriting awards and gaining a loyal gig-going fanbase - and collaborations that have seen him work with some of the most acclaimed producers in the business (James Skelly, Jim Spencer).

 

James is incredibly self-sufficient not only performing every instrument himself (drums aside) but also filming/editing his music videos, designing many of his own artwork covers and self-releasing his music.

He has received widespread support and esteem from a host of revered musicians, DJs and radio hosts. Among them: Brian Eno, Dermot O’Leary, KCRW, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X (John Kennedy), ITV, KEXP, XS Manchester, BBC Radio Manchester, BBC Radio Lancashire, BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio. 

“Sounds so great on the radio!” - Chris Douridas, KCRW (LA)

​

"Brisk, funny, exciting… feels fresh and exciting to listen to.” - Brian Eno.

 

“With an arresting voice that is reminiscent of John Lennon or early Bob Dylan, wily lyrics and an upbeat weave of rock, prog and blues, it’s obvious to see why his remarkable music is turning heads” – Manchester Evening News.​​​
