James Birt is a session drummer from the South of England.

His career launched fully in 2006. This was a very exciting year for James as he won the UK National Young Drummer of the Year award, sponsored by MikeDolbear.com. This came to him as a complete shock and opened up many doors for him to explore.

During the year (2006), he was lucky enough to open Europe’s biggest drum show, Drummer Live at the Excel Centre, UK National Drum Fair, tour with Billy Ward and his hero Gregg Bissonette, as well as doing one off clinics with Steve White, Thomas Lang, Craig Blundell, Jerry Brown, Carl Palmer, Steve Timms, Cherisse Osei. He was featured on X-Change for the BBC, countless interviews on TV, radio, press and magazines, including the front cover of DRUMMER magazine which also was a complete honour for him.

From 2006 onwards James has been working his backside off trying to get gigs, sessions and lots of different recording and live work. He has worked with people such as Cheseney Hawkes, Steve Rushton (Son of Dork), Ray Dorset (Mungo Jerry), Steve Hampton (The Vapours), and Adam Norsworthy (The Mustangs).

James has recorded on songs for Steve Rushton, Phantom of the Opera on Ice, Portsmouth FC Offical FA Cup Anthem, Wave 105 official World Cup anthem, Potential Maltese Eurovision Song Contest entry and recently recording on brand new Country Pop artist, Natalie Hall’s single, ‘Say’ with talks about doing her album too! James performed at Clive Aid, Oldham, (drum show in remembrance of Clive Burr), featured in a video for Jobecky Electric Drums, and played at the grand opening of the shop and the Fill your Head with Rock International, Wolverhampton (ft. Pete Boot).

As well as all that, James teaches at a local college and secondary school.
