Born in Swansea, Wales, May James is a singer and songwriter whose music blends cinematic darkness with raw emotional honesty.
Raised between the grey coastline and the city’s industrial pulse, she found rhythm in isolation and poetry in distortion.
Her sound draws from the tension between punk rock’s defiance and dark wave’s introspection, fusing them with trip-hop and alternative electronic textures.
The result is a haunting, modern aesthetic — layered, hypnotic, and deeply human.
After her visceral reinterpretation of Ænema, the Watershed EP marks May’s evolution into original artistry, capturing the same sense of catharsis and edge through her own voice.
