James has been playing music since he was in his early teens, signing his first record deal when he was just Seventeen to a German rock n Roll Label. He played extensively around London and the UK with a 50s Rock and Roll trio.

James then went on to study music at the Jazz academy of music and Bath University. Living in London James was working as a session musician for Robin Gibb, Beverly Craven, the Broadly entertainment group and various pop music agencies whilst teaching in South east London. He finally ended up working for Silent Records who had a new female artist ‘Maria Willson’ who had just signed a new record deal.

Maria has been singing since she was ten. Her father worked on the famous Oriana for eight years so that’s where she gets her passion for music.

Maria was the teenage start of Michael Barrymore’s My kind of people/music Television show, stemming from that she signed a management and production deal with Silent Records.

In 2002 Maria’s manager decided that the music she was writing needed to be backed by a band. Her band was formed still under the name of Maria Willson. Soon after, early 2003 Maria was signed to Telstar Records and released two top 40 singles In the UK.

During this time Maria, James and the Band were on various, popular TV programmes such as TRL, Nickelodeon, Disney, Rise, Loose Lips, CBBC and Maria modelled for OK, J17, The Sunday Mirror and many more.
In late 2004 Telstar went into liquidation, this had been unknowingly on the cards for a long time but by this time Maria and James were engaged and already forming a duo; Easy Street

Since then Easy Street have already been lucky enough to work for Thomson Gold in Mallorca and gig extensively through the south east of England. In 2006 Maria then took a break from there duo work to recorded vocals for the DT8 Dance project for Sony.

Over the last year Easy Street have been playing gigs throughout the UK and another season with Thomson Gold in Mallorca.

Now they are better than ever and guaranteed to please the crowds.
With a large repertoire of songs including pop, Country, Rock n Roll, Broadway, Jazz, Motown and Party music, they are sure to have a taste for everyone.

Easy Street - Live Duo Band
Just a quick note to say what a success the group 'Easy Street' were last night. They handled the punters (a pretty senior crowd with hearing aids etc) extremely well & everyone actually got up for a dance at some point. I give them ten out of ten for their vocals & instrument skills. I would most certainly have the pair back at some point. Feedback today has been excellent.

Mana Live are outstanding musicians...
Their acoustic sets feature beautiful arrangements of great songs like Walk On The Wild Side, Livin' On My Own and I've Just Seen A Face, stunningly presented with strong vocals and tight harmonies, and compounded by live instrumentation as the guys switch effortlessly between guitars, piano, harmonica, keyboards, mandolin and clarinet to name but a few.

However, it is as songwriters that Mana Live really shine.
With a flair for musical arrangement and a lyrical passion to rival the most high profile bands, Mana Live strive for excellence not only in the songs they create but in the studio where they record with a skill and attention to detail normally associated with a major record label.

...Enter Mana Live!....These guys have all of the above in shed loads.
