James Rhodes was born in London in 1975. A keen piano player, at eighteen he was offered a scholarship at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, but went to Edinburgh University instead. James stopped playing the piano entirely and dropped out after a year. He ended up working in the City of London for five years. After a devastating mental breakdown that led him to be institutionalized, he took the piano up again. He is now a professional and applauded concert pianist, writer, and TV and radio presenter. His memoir, Instrumental, was published to great critical acclaim and became an international bestseller. Visit him at jamesrhodes.tv.
