About:

Aly James was born on 20 Feb 1978.

French and Italian, he started at the age of 15 to sing with the guitar then bass, piano and later drums.

Soon he got interested in effects and learned how to program synthesizers and multi-effects that inspired him to compose music. He did also learn recording techniques and worked for many years as a studio engineer and music arranger for artists and commercials.

Through groups like Funkadelic, Sly & the Family Stone and artist like Prince, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Steve Vai, he started making funky driven music, also at the age of 15.

Besides being a Funky music Artist (thousand of unreleased and released tracks), he wanted to be free of any commercial deal or timeline and produced his own material without the help of major labels, avoiding large promotion offer in order to gain freedom.

He started experimenting with self taught electronics and music dsp software processing to achieve his own instruments and musical vision.

He also worked as a computer graphic artist and teacher for many years.

His taste for music is pretty wide... the fact is that he simply loves groovy good music, from Old School to New styles, Prog Rock, Electronic, Heavy Rock, HipHop, Jazz, from Chip Music to James Brown. This wide taste does reflect very much in his sound products.

Last year Aly started developing is own line of virtual synthesizers and effects for PC and Hardware Guitar Pedals.
