James Leonard Hewitson

James Leonard Hewitson is a musical artist from the North East of England. His music has found its way onto television screens and national radio stations, with numerous live performances around the UK.

JLH plays his compositional choices like chess, or like a conversation. Repetition and recapitulation allows variation and departure to make more of an impact. He regularly asks himself when making music, ‘I could go the long way round here, but if I do, will it truly sound better, or clearer than anything by the <a href="spotify:artist:1co4F2pPNH8JjTutZkmgSm" data-name="Ramones">Ramones</a> ? If not, don’t bother, you can complicate music anytime you like’. This results in a relatively direct and concise end product.

Big fan of Sunday dinners, a coastal town shmuck who survives artistically on the cultural obscurity that he lives and breathes, while simultaneously hoping to achieve relevance.
