Where
in the World is Dexter James?
For a while Dexter completely disappeared
from the scene, focussing on small live performances and refining
his own personal style. He also travelled to numerous countries
around the world including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Sweden, Poland,
Ireland, the US, Canada, Spain and France.
During
the intervening years, a firm believer in lifelong education,
he also managed to gain numerous qualifications including a certificate
in Sound Recording and Music Technology and a Master's degree
involving web and CD audio. For his continued vocal training he
extends his sincere thanks to Tona
DeBrett.
Back
in Stride
He
has spent the last couple of years writing a range of songs reflecting
upon the events and ideas that have impacted his life. Drawing
on a diverse range of influences, these works cross the genres
of indie, rock and folk, featuring a style which is simple, accessible,
sometimes humorous, but always poignant.
"My
songs are about the life experiences, love and loss; the way we
sometimes have to step back and see the humour in situations.
I hope on some level my music speaks to people about their own
experiences."
