James Minas | MINAS

This week's episode see's Leo in conversation with Musician and Producer James Minas.
-
James is a Greek/Welsh Musician and Producer, who has made waves with his honest, emotional and energetic songs and performances, bouncing between hip hop, punk and rock, his music is hard to fit into a genre. Moving from Greece to Wales at a young age and with parents in the Circus, it wasn't a 'traditional' start for James. Growing up in the remote Welsh Valley's didn't necessarily scratch the creative itch he always had. At first producing instrumental music and DJ'ing before finding his feet as a writer and producer, James channels his experiences, both ups and downs into his music. Both autobiography and social commentary, his music finds a place that is inherently macho and aggressive but breaks it down to show the inner workings of why it came to be.
-
During our chat, we get into how James found music, (thank you Spice Girls), how it became such an outlet for him and the impact it has had on his personal and professional life. Addiction, loss and mental health all play a part in shaping the music he produces and his outlook on life. Alongside his own musical output, he works to produce tracks for number of other welsh talents.
Discover all this and much more in this episode of Curating Conversation.
