11 Roses

James Lamb lives in London, Richard Craker currently lives in Thailand.

Craker leads an international and nomadic life, producing and writing for major and independent artists: a whirlwind of suitcases, studio sessions, airports and plug-ins. Lamb is ably flexing his creative muscles also collaborating with other artists such as AKA Block.

Lamb’s fierce intellect and obvious passion bleeds out of every syllable he imparts in his uncompromising native South London tones, while Craker’s spacious, intelligent and impressive contemporary production can’t and shouldn’t disguise his brilliant virtuosity as a musician.

Craker’s recent collaboration with Taiwan’s Jolin Tsai hit no.1 in 8 countries, including Billboard Number 1 in China and went top 10 in another 3. He also produced a single on Liam Gallagher's last album, which hit no. 1 in the UK and is now producing out of Karma Studios in Thailand. Lamb carries 11 Roses’s public face in their first 2 epic short films, for the songs 'Find a Way’ and ‘Best of Me’ where he fiercely pushes his physical boundaries and showcases his acting prowess.
