Rising star British singer, songwriter and pianist Reuben James takes to the floor for an evening of soul and jazz numbers.

James is a magnetic presence in the music scene, drawing in collaborations with the likes of Stormz, Sam Smith, Herbie Hancock, Lang Lang, Marcus Mumford and Disclosure amongst many others.

Between his collaborations and influences from Frank Ocean, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu and Robert Glasper, James has developed a unique sound and style of his own as one of UK music’s most interesting voices.
