I'm singer/songwriter/bass player, James Kahu (pronounced Car Who), from Auckland, New Zealand.
I started singing & playing the bass guitar back in 1989 and since then have immersed myself in every style of music
After a gig back in 2006, a vocalist and I were talking about the music scene and how well the bands were doing. I said that we should do something…. He carried on to say that he was doing an album to be put out the following year and "I could jump on the band wagon". Well that really hit home in a good and bad way, because I thought, he's right, as a freelance or session musician, that's what you do, back, up-and-coming or already established artists. So I went home that night and woke up in the morning and thought, I can do this myself, I sat down and reviewed the material I had already done and started writing……
I'll catch you at a gig soon!!
Peace & Love, James Kahu
