James Colah is from London, England and is an accomplished keyboard player, producer, arranger, composer and session man with a credible and impressive resumé in the music industry. He began his music studies at the age of four with a classical upbringing which progressed to a dynamic and creative flare for composition and performance, much of which is undertaken at his own South London studios. He has composed, performed, recorded and produced music for more than 300 artists of various genres with the philosophy, “As long as you have a germ of a melody which you can hum, I can develop it into something which is sure to please.” His achievements and experience span many diverse areas of the music business including being signed to CBS ( Sony BMG Records ) at an early age with his two brothers, resulting in a European tour. He has also toured with many high profile acts, including, ‘Tears For Fears’ in America and Canada and the classic soul band, ‘The Foundations’ throughout Europe. James co-wrote and performed the title music for the BBC's, 'Terry Wogan's Friday Night Show' and was featured in the prestigious, 'Keyboard Player' magazine.

James continues to maintain his standard of excellence by developing as a musician and has recently steered his talents into the genre of smooth jazz. He’s currently working very hard on his first solo smooth jazz album release under the name of ‘The James Colah Project’ and recently released two highly successful singles "Blissful" and "Ocean Tide" under the name of ‘The Parlett-Colah Project.’ His smooth jazz music has enjoyed rave reviews and is on the playlists of over 100 international radio stations around the world including Jimi King’s Sky.fm Show and The Jazznet247.com Project for whom he has been a featured artist and which also resulted in him doing many featured radio interviews and voice-over id’s.
