TYLER JAMES / RTKAL / ANDREAS MOE / DUBRATZ / PW WILSON / CLENCHA
TYLER JAMES
Tyler James is a 27 year old singer song writer from North London. To the ambivalent eye, he is just another great singer thrown from the conveyor belt of reality TV. In June he placed second on the BBC’s The Voice, the acolyte of Black Eyed Peas’ commercial alchemist Will.I.Am. Listening to his debut single, the cut-glass ballad ‘Single Tear’, Tyler might remind you of blue-eyed British soul talents who close the gap to Rinse FM. He will be performing tracks from his as yet unnamed debut album with production from Salaam Remi, Jamie Woon & Fraiser T Smith. This is definitely one not to miss…..
