About

James Dean is a live looping artist known for creating relaxed, multi-instrumental music that unfolds in real time. Blending genres such as Smooth Jazz, Soft Rock, Funk, Reggae, R&B, and more, each performance is designed to feel immersive, organic, and entirely in the moment.

Live Looping

Using a technique called live looping, James builds complete songs on stage from the ground up. Every instrument is recorded live as it’s played, then looped and layered to form rich, evolving arrangements. As the music grows, so does the experience—resulting in a full band sound performed entirely live, without the use of any pre-recorded tracks.

Audiences aren’t just listening to finished songs; they’re invited into the creative process itself. Each performance becomes a shared journey, with melodies, rhythms, and textures revealed piece by piece. No two shows are ever the same, making every set a one-of-a-kind experience.

“It’s like painting with sound.”

A modern take on the one-man band, built for the new millennium—authentic, expressive, and alive in the moment.
