Eliot James

Writer / Producer / Engineer / Programmer / Mixer / Remixer

Eliot began playing guitar at 8 years old and by the time he was into his teens had already played in several bands as well as recording and programming tracks on a home set-up mixing traditional instruments with programmed beats, samples and noises.

Eliot headed for London after a studio apprenticeship in Manchester and began working on a variety of recording projects including programming for Jewels & Stone, recording live shows and composing music for commercials and film. A chance meeting with Paul Epworth programming on The Futureheads debut album cemented a hugely successful relationship over the next two years resulting in further recordings with Bloc Party, The White Rose Movement and The Rakes.

Currently in the studio Producing Noah and the Whale (Young & Lost/Universal), Eliot has recently finished Producing the debut for Does It Offend You, Yeah?
