James moved to London at the age of 16 to pursue a career in acting, graduated from ArtsEd, which is one of the UK's top drama schools with 1st Class Honours and has recently performed at an award winning play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

James' refreshingly mature approach and mindset is a recipe for a healthy and happy life.
