Hayden James

Hayden James is an Australian electronic and pop producer and songwriter from New South Wales. He built his reputation within the house and electronic-pop scene through warm, melodic productions that blend live guitar textures with dance-oriented rhythms, a combination that sets him apart from more purely club-focused house producers. His breakthrough came with tracks such as «Numb» and «Something About You», the latter gaining wider exposure through remixes, including one by ODESZA.

Beyond his solo work, Hayden James has collaborated with a range of artists across pop and dance, most notably contributing to Katy Perry's «Déjà Vu». His catalogue includes singles like «Just Friends», «Better Together», «Just a Lover» and «Nowhere to Go», each showcasing his consistent focus on melodic hooks layered over house-inflected production.

His album «Between Us» is framed around themes of love and connection, featuring multiple guest vocalists and collaborators, and represents a culmination of his approach to songwriting and production up to that point. Across his output, Hayden James occupies a niche where organic instrumentation and electronic dance music meet, appealing to fans of both radio-friendly pop and more underground house sounds.
