James Stewart-Rattray

I am a musician/songwriter/producer with a long and extensive history in the Australian music scene. Over the years I have toured and recorded as a bass player with some of the icons of Australian popular music from the 70s and 80s such as Jon English, Jeff St John, Mark Holden, Ross Ryan, Billy Field and many others. As a song writer I have held contracts with Chappell Music and Alberts Music and have had my material recorded by Jon English. While still living in Sydney, I followed a new direction working with promising song writers and composers to develop their material and record demos for various music publishing companies. I am now established in Adelaide as an independent producer and session musician, and have continued my work with local song writers and musicians to develop their material as well as writing, producing and recorded my own material both at my own studio, Desert Dogs Studios, and at Karisma Recording Studios. I still work live gigs and most recently played bass for Ian Coats at shows around Adelaide showcasing material from his latest album “Tales of Love in Time”.
