James Smith is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Cape Town. No stranger to performing in SA and ground, he has consistently astounded audiences with his wide vocal range and virtuosity on the keys and guitar. Although classically trained, James has always had a passion for discovering new music, leading him to his genre-bending style.
At only 26, James has had an extensive career. From performing in musical theaters nation-wide in ‘A Handful of Keys’ to singing the National Anthem for the Springboks at an International rugby match. Having performed at multiple local and international festivals this year already, including: ‘Up the Creek’, ‘Strab’, Bushfire’ and most recently, ‘Etole’ in Russia.
Although he has played alongside multiple esteemed SA artists over the last few years, throughout 2024 he has been writing and recording his own compositions; plus he has an absolute knack of doing his unique interpretations of popular songs, thereby creating stunning soundscapes and magic!
We can’t wait to show off his incredible musicianship at the Milnerton Playhouse!
