Johnny James' passion for music began when he picked up the Cello at a young age. After eight years of playing, he took his knowledge of music theory and began producing and spinning experimental dance music in the early 2000's.

After completing recording school at UCLA, he gained experience at a record label (BMB), a world-class recording studio (Westlake), and finally at Swinghouse Recordings.

His style is influencing the LA Dance Scene with his unique Nu Disco and Progressive House sound. As Co-Creator of "Faces" at the Standard Hotel and resident DJ at Bar Marmont, Johnny's sounds are sought after by the most elite and discerning crowds. He guest performs at numerous venues such as Suede, Glow, Vanguard, AC Lounge, & The Penthouse at Highlands.
