Biography

James Walsh was born in 1980 in Chorley in North West England, UK. When he was 12 he started to play the piano and by the time he was 14 he wrote his own songs; he enjoyed to listen to groups like The Charlatans, Oasis (band) and Jeff Buckley. A shy and lonely personality, he looked for artists that had or have an influence in the musicians of his generation. Eventually he got attracted to artists and bands such as Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake and The Beatles. Walsh was so impressed by the music of Tim Buckley, that he decided to name his own band after the title of Buckley's 1970 album Starsailor (album).
