James Marriott
James Marriott from Brighton had been a successful YouTuber for years when he decided in 2020 to prioritize his musical ambitions. In addition to vlogs, reaction videos, and comedy, he also began sharing self-written songs with his millions of followers. In these songs, the now 26-year-old Marriott sings very openly about personal matters such as his struggles with love and his sexuality. The indie guitar-pop songs alternate between massive choruses, driving post-punk energy, or intimate introspection. After two strong EPs, Marriott released his debut album “Are We There Yet?” at the end of 2023. Since then, he has been selling out more and more venues with his five-piece band, because James Marriott is actually much more enjoyable offline!
