James Draper has been part of the Australian music scene for over a decade. One half of local duo Winterbourne, he began his musical journey busking on the streets of Sydney and has since built a career in songwriting and performing that has seen him appear on some of Australia’s most renowned stages and in some of it’s most prestigious recording studios. James is as likely to be found providing relaxed background tunes as he is entertaining a boisterous crowd with a repertoire ranging from the classic to the current.
