about

South-London based keys player, composer and producer James Beckwith presents his new single ‘Celeste’.

On his new track, the musician displays his trademark ability to conjure emotions, ideas, and impressions
out of tasteful harmony, intricate arrangement and strong production. Expanding from the traditional piano
trio format that he has made his name upon, the musician explores the world of synths, electronics and
production. ‘Celeste’ is written like an electronic tune , with builds and space to let rhythm and repetitive
patterns tell the story.
"Celeste is a single about the ethereal, the mystery and the fascination with space and the unknown. The
Celesta creates a mystical sound with the typical elements of my writing combining synth and piano on
equal measure. This is my first serious journey in production where the record is as produced as it is
composed”

It will tie into the sound of James’ upcoming album planned for Oct 2021, a follow-up to the brilliant ‘Long
Distance’, which merged genres and influences to create a sound of its own, reminiscent of 80’s Herbie and
early Daft Punk. The project caught the attention of JazzWise, Jazz FM and WorldWide FM to name a few.
Since then life has been put on pause, causing James’ approach to shift. The resultant music is very much
reflective of the isolation and contemplation of the past year. “COVID has given me time to think about
what’s important and what I want, and that is to create my own lasting pieces of music”.

A much sought after musician, James has worked alongside names including Nubya Garcia, Sharky, Yazmin
Lacey, Judi Jackson, Alex Hitchcock, Joe Downard, SEED Ensemble and Cherise.
