Sales Are Dope Premier San Francisco April 2023
Matthew James has spent the last several years building a reputation as an Award-Winning Film & TV composer. His work as an assistant, musical performer, additional writer, programmer and sound consultant on the WB's hit action hero drama series, "Black Lightning", (Berlanti Productions/starring Cress Williams) and the drama & comedic stylings of BET's, "Being Mary Jane" (Gabrielle Union), laid the ground work for his solo career. From the gritty Crime Thriller, "Arkansas", (starring Vince Vaughn, John Malkovich, Liam Hemsworth) to the apocalyptic Action-Adventure-Comedic-Sci-Fi melee, "Useless Humans", (Showtime), his ability across multi-genres has become an asset to film productions, at the indie and major studio level alike.

Matthew now works out of his custom-built studio (16 Cent Studios) located in the Emmy-Award winning Aura Sound facility in Burbank, CA. With over 25 years of experience as a multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter, band leader and natural inclinations as a filmmaker, ensure the highest quality scores produced on all budgets. With unparalleled dedication, passion, and precision, Matthew has cemented roots in the industry. From the large bombastic orchestral scores of the golden era, to modern minimalist and epic synth/hybrid music, he continues to expand and gain the loyalty of his clients that recognize him as an integral team member. Watch for his name in the credits, the future is promising.
