Being brought up in a house full of women has done Tyler James the world of good. His aunts, mum and sisters wouldn't let him near the home stereo and subjected the impressionable boy to a relentless but very healthy musical feast of Motown and Bob Marley. |

Such a diet of timeless classics has helped shape James into the new exciting talent he is today. At 22 years old, the East London born singer/song writer has just completed a guest slot on Amy Winehouse's recent tour, but it is his debut single that is getting music journalists and record executives all steamed up. 'Why Do I Do' bubbles with charm and self-knowing as Tyler's exceptional voice confesses to his failings in treating his lady right. Part reggae, part soul, part pop; it is an instant classic that will be at home at the coolest London parties as much as daytime national radio. |

The album 'The Unlikely Lad' is due to be delivered in early 2005 and it is sure to reek of self-confidence and effortless grooves. If anyone can bridge the divide between jazz, blues, R'n'B and pop with a mass appeal it has to be Tyler James. He might ask 'Why Do I Do' but all we can say is thank God he does what he does. Tyler
