Bio
James Carrington is an emerging singer, songwriter and actor from the U.K. After studying at Edinburgh University, Carrington gained an acting diploma from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He has appears in such shows as "Eastenders," "London's Burning," and "Out of Sight". Carrington originally formed the band Little Giants in 1999, signed a publishing deal with Bucks Music in 1999 before writing some extraordinary new material that formed his own debut album and live sound. Carrington's music mixed the sound of intricate acoustic guitar, piano, oboe, violin, cello and occasionally trumpet. Carrington has been compared to such luminaries as David Gray, James Taylor and Paul McCartney and his inspirational music has attracted the attention of such stars as Sheryl Crow and Coldplay, who both regard themselves as fans. In May of 2005, Carrington appeared at MUSEXPO in Los Angeles at the invitation of Sat Bisla (A&R Worldwide), who co-organized the event. He then signed a publishing deal with Cheeky Music (Faithless, Dido) and subsequently a record deal with Champion records in 2006. In November of 2006, Carrington's song "Ache" was featured in the hit U.S. television series "Smallville." Fans immediately began to ask about the musician behind the song and demand for Carrington has begun gaining increasing exponentially. Since the "Smallville" debut, "Ache" has also been featured worldwide in "ER", "Side Order of Life" and "The Evidence". Carrington has recently completed recording his debut album, which will feature the mighty talents of Michael Landau, Luis Conte, Tom Coster, Abe Laboriel and Abe Laboriel Jr. The album has been produced and financed by Klaus Badelt, who has rapidly become one of the biggest film composers in Hollywood over the last few years (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Poseidon, Premonition and Constantine). Klaus recently finished the score for a film called 'Rescue Dawn' (Directed by Werner Herzog and starring Christian Bale). Upon viewing the film, James was inspired to write a song. Klaus loved it and promptly put him in a studio with Craig Eastman and "Lights" evolved into a track that appeared on the soundtrack of the film. James Guthrie (Grammy Award winning Pink Floyd producer and engineer) is currently mixing the soon to be titled record. It will be mastered by Doug Sax who has worked with such luminaries as The Who, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, James Taylor and Jackson Browne. As a writer, James has also recently composed the music for the 2009 Toyota online campaign. He is currently in the process of writing the music for the 2009 Twinings advertising campaign with record producer and composer Magnus Fiennes alongside an albums worth of material for a new girl group signed to Universal records. He has also very recently been commissioned to write the theme song and additional material for a major new US TV show that is in development with Warner Bros. -
