James Hultgren lives in Brisbane with his partner Matt and their cantankerous cat, Sylvia. With a love of music he began composing at a young age, with his first piece published at thirteen.

He continues to compose, albeit in a more contemporary, “pop music” style, and loves nothing more than counting down the days until the release of an album by his favourite artists. He recently completed his Honours year in Linguistics at the University of Queensland, and hopes to continue onto his PhD in 2013.

When he’s not studying or musicking, he loves to experiment in the kitchen and create all the crazy food that’s fun to make, or clean up after his partner, who makes the food they actually eat.
