Shayfer James
+ Cathal Murphy
U.S.based, singer-songwriter Shayfer James weaves lyrically eloquent dark-pop songs from gothic landscapes that evoke the narcotic mysticism of a Lewis Carroll-inspired three-ring circus. His piano driven music swaggers from decadent danceable anthems to soft-hearted ballads with jazz lilted satire and whiskey-dirt grit.
In addition to touring and recorded music, his original songs and film scores have been featured in horror and suspense films with premieres at The Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW and The North Bend Film Festival.
Shayfer has independently released two full length albums, five EPs and various singles. His next full length album, “Shipwreck” is due out in March 2023, with its first single “Devils & Rebels” available now and several more singles coming in advance of the album release. Shayfer will be supporting the releases with international and U.S. tours in 2023.
