Shayfer James

When Shayfer James approaches the piano, there is a certain power and mischievous charm that surrounds him. A bewitching sense of foreboding builds as his fingers touch the piano, and as he begins to sing, we are immersed in his darkly lyrical and evocative stories. His wry poetry is stitched seamlessly to peculiar arrangements that are simultaneously unsettling and familiar. Mr. James lures us into a devious world where the gods tear wings from angels and every man has a siren waiting to devour him.
Mr. James’’gift for songwriting is singular. The songs on his full-length albums, range from beautifully sad to frightening and furious, and his performances are tailored to match. His style is theatrical, but never contrived.
