About
James William Marriott (born 7 July 1997) is a Swiss-born English musician and YouTuber. He is best known for his 2025 No. 1 UK-charting album Don’t Tell the Dog and 2026 top-40 single “California Rain”. Prior to this, he charted at No. 17 on the UK Albums Chart in 2023 with Are We There Yet? and No. 67 on the UK singles chart with “I Don’t Want to Live Like This”.
After uploading videos of his instrumental acoustic music, he attracted attention after diversifying into caustic YouTube commentary videos and Twitch livestreams. He stepped back from YouTube to pursue music full-time, releasing his debut single “Slow Down” in May 2020. This was followed by the extended plays No Left Brain and Bitter Tongues. His debut album Are We There Yet? was released in 2023, and his second album, Don’t Tell the Dog, was released in 2025.
Marriott cites Foals and the Strokes as major influences, and his music is generally described as indie rock. In 2025, he founded iced coffee company Rodd’s alongside close friend and frequent collaborator WillNE.
