James Ryan

James studied an Accounting with Management degree at the University Of East Anglia, before moving to London (he heard the streets were paved with gold). In London he worked in sales for a multi-national company Edenred (then known as Accor Services), he was soon promoted to National Account Manager after a couple of successful years of generating new business and was solely responsible for their flagship £15 million brand. Having enjoyed working in this environment, James decided it was time to pursue a life-long dream of working as a musician. 12 years have passed since making that decision and he still earns his living through music and music education. Always excited by a new challenge, James is interested in more than one career path. He has also published a book and started his own music PR company helping independent artists gain maximum radio and press exposure for their album releases. Having worked in many different environments, James finds the things he is best at are: - communication - adaptability - planning - coordinating among different interest groups
