As I got older, I realised that there were no real winners and there were no real losers in psychological warfare. But there were victims and there were students.

It wasn't David versus Goliath, it was a pendulum eternally swaying from the dark to the light and the more intensely that the light shone, the darker the shadow it cast.

It was never really a battle for me to win, it was an eternal dance. And like a dance, the more rigid I became, the harder it got. The more I cursed my clumsy footsteps, the more I struggled.

So I got older and I learned to relax and I learned to soften and that dance got easier. It is this eternal dance that separates human beings from angels, from demons, from gods and I must not forget, we must not forget that we are human beings - Hi Ren

Fast-emerging British singer, songwriter and pianist Reuben James’ virtuoso jazz techniques and soulful, evocative voice have led him to be widely regarded as one the most exciting and creatively assured artists to have emerged in recent years.

Although perhaps best known for his ongoing collaborations with Sam Smith, which have included co-writing songs for Smith’s 4 million-selling album The Thrill of It All, James has written for and performed with an array of international star acts including the likes of Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, Tori Kelly, Little Mix, Disclosure and Liam Payne amongst many others.

Reuben has been working on his own material, exploring the boundaries between jazz and pop. His debut EP Adore landed to critical acclaim in 2019 and his new EP Slow Down is due for release in June 2020.
