James Massiah

James Massiah is a renowned poet, DJ, and producer hailing from London, United Kingdom. With a distinctive voice and incisive perspective, Massiah’s work explores themes of identity, sexuality, mortality, and urban culture, often through a lens that blends the philosophical with the everyday. His poetry and spoken word performances, noted for their rhythmic intensity and lyrical candor, have been featured by institutions such as the BBC, Tate Modern, and the Southbank Centre, as well as publications like Dazed and i-D.

Massiah’s 2018 mixtape "Euthanasia Party/Twenty Seven" was lauded for its thought-provoking content and innovative merging of poetry with electronic music soundscapes, further cementing his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist in British contemporary culture. Alongside his solo projects, he has collaborated with brands such as Burberry and Idols, and contributed to the UK’s vibrant club circuit through DJ sets that similarly blur the lines between music and spoken word, forging an influential presence across the country’s creative scenes.
