TV music creator puts success down to his teacher

James Sinclair-Stott is a talented music producer who has recently been working on a Swedish television show called Let's Dance. He is seen smiling in a recording studio, wearing a black T-shirt and a silver chain. With his curly brown hair, brown eyes, and a beard, he looks like someone who is passionate about music. The studio is filled with various equipment, including buttons, dials, speakers, and monitors, all essential for creating music. James credits his success to a music teacher he had in Guernsey named Marilyn Pugh. He explained that she taught him the importance of critical listening, which is a skill he now uses to write cover songs for the show. He fondly remembers his time in school, saying, 'When I've been doing this, I'm like, 'This is what Mrs. Pugh was teaching us,' and now I'm actually using it! ' This shows how much he values the lessons he learned from her. For the past eight years, James has been living in Nashville, USA. He received an exciting opportunity when a TV producer from Sweden reached out to him for music for the dance show. He explained, 'They can't really use the original versions of songs, so they need to be chopped up into very specific arrangements. ' This means he has to listen closely to the songs, break them down, and recreate them in a way that fits the show. He finds this process challenging but rewarding. James recalls how Mrs. Pugh would play different pieces of music in class and ask the students to identify the instruments they heard. He admits, 'It was really hard! ' but acknowledges that these exercises helped him develop his skills. Last weekend, the show Let's Dance aired, and James expressed his excitement, saying, 'It's really cool hearing my music in Sweden. ' He feels proud of his work and grateful for the guidance he received from his teacher. James hopes that his story inspires others to pursue their passions and appreciate the educators who play a significant role in their lives.
