TIMELESS

Justin James:
Since four years of age, the piano has been a major part of Justin's highly creative life. Growing up in a musical household with heaps of classical and jazz influences didn't hurt either. From the lyricism of Chopin, the impressionism of Debussy, the intensity of Rachmaninov to jazz masters such as Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and George Shearing. Justin brings personality, charm and warmth, along with beautiful colour and sensitivity to the music with every performance.

Trained initially in classical piano at the WA Academy of Performing Arts having studied vocals, keyboard and percussion at Perth Modern School as part of the music scholarship program, he began to champion an interest in performing, arranging and composition. His playing and arranging style has been influenced by George Duke and Alan Pasqua, both based in Los Angeles, where he spent time mentored by the late Martin Clarke (Bon Scott) writing and performing. One great memory of his early travels was playing Elton Johns' white Steinway Grand Piano, which was on sale at Sherman Clay Piano Showroom in LA. It was the piano Elton used for his tour of Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

As an extension of his love for music, for two decades, Justin worked as a radio announcer/presenter and was fortunate enough to win two acra (Australian Commercial Radio Awards). Having worked for Austereo stations 92.9, Mix 94.5, Triple M, 96fm & 6PR and ABC's national youth network, Triple J. Justin now works part time for 98.5 Sonshine FM. Justin has also written and produced award winning commercials and music for radio and television and was a finalist in the electro category of the Music Oz Challenge after being commissioned to compose a "techno" anthem, which illustrates clearly his diversity. Justin has had the pleasure of working with a variety of talented performers and has had residencies in many of Perth's venues for the past ten years.

Marnie Kent:
Both local & international audiences have experienced the warm, rich and dynamic sound of vocalist Marnie Kent. Her experience, confidence and stage presence make her an enticing performer. An experienced bandleader, Marnie has been groomed by the best. Working alongside Perth's world class musicians has moulded her unique style and seen her grow into one of Perth’s finest Jazz vocalists.
