James Berkeley

James Berkeley

Visiting Faculty

James Berkeley, an instrumentalist, vocalist and producer has established himself within the UK jazz, soul and R&B scenes through his many musical endeavours. From garnering a reputation for an impressive live show with his band Yakul to more behind-the-scenes work producing and writing for artists, now James spreads his wings as a solo artist with his upcoming project alongside prolific collaborator, edbl. He has worked extensively with celebrated jazz veterans Incognito and his collaboration with R&B songstress Mereba reached over a million streams preceding Yakul’s 2021 debut album Rise Indigo. An ambitious and avid songwriter, James stands firm that great ideas come through trust and passion for the craft - while welcoming inspiration in all its forms. James also takes pride in sharing his process and advice for musicians via Twitch and YouTube, allowing him to utilise over a decade navigating the music industry to help others find their way too.
