James Poole exposes his humanity so that people don’t feel so alone in theirs. His songs shed light on the experiences so many of us have, but aren’t comfortable sharing. His sound is immediately identifiable, despite his liberal use of genre and instrumentation as colours to paint each story in its own palette.

A child of the 90s, James grew up in a time where songs like ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, ‘Stacy’s Mom’ and ‘Mr Brightside’ captured the imaginations of a whole generation with their light-hearted take on serious issues. Now, more than ever, we all use music as relief from the world.

‘I’ve Started Fuckin Someone Else’ is the debut single from this fascinating British artist and it taps firmly into that feeling. Originally written & produced in his bedroom 2 years ago, James describes a real relationship that had him feeling like a ‘trophy wife’, flipping the gender stereotype on its head.
