ABOUT JAMES HENRY
James Henry has been in demand as a composer and sound designer writing various blends of traditional Aboriginal and contemporary genres. His diverse skill set has seen him compose for and musically direct the Dreamtime at the G and Melbourne Festival opening ceremonies, various theatre and dance productions.
The strength in James’ music comes from his diversity. Being a singer/songwriter as well as a covers performer, James toured around the country performing as a solo artist as well as a featured performer on national and international tours with the Black Arm Band and Buried Country. He draws inspiration from sources including 60s pop/rock/folk melodists such as the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel.
