ABOUT THE ARTIST

James Harland-Wright was born in Shoreham-by-Sea in the UK. He grew up in Perth Australia and then he really, really grew up in New York City.

 

James has a gift for storytelling. In the beginning this was presented through music and song. His band was signed to Wind-Up Records in NY, they toured every state, played to thousands of people and James wrote songs that were featured in major television shows such as ’Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity, The West Wing and The Crow’, MTV, VH1 and Nicelodeon. Their songs were also featured in films ‘She’s All That, Teaching Mrs. Tingle and Passport To Paris’.

​

During his time in New York James also worked as an investigator for legendary private eye, Joe Mullen. A unique experience that not only paid the bills but gave him some street smarts and rare insight into the human condition.

​

James has also been working with a creative team of solution designers and facilitators at a company called The Difference in Sydney as a practitioner of the methodologies of Matt and Gail Taylor, an architect and educator who are visionaries in the fields of complex problem solving and creative design thinking. Collaborating with scribes, graphic designers, consultants and experts across many fields.

​

While rock stardom was pretty cool… James wanted something else and that was space, nature and a family... he relocated to a small seaside town called Kiama... where the mountains meet the sea and as well as songs James began to write stories...
