Hi, I’m James Franklin Bertschy better known as James Leeds, a composer, pianist and a record producer from Lucerne. I grew up in Zofingen, Switzerland and have English roots. I studied statistics in Leeds, UK, and worked for a long time in that sector.
Under my former stage name James Franklin Bertschy I publish instrumental songs, mostly piano compositions. Whernside is my latest album and it consists of my favourite pieces recorded on a real Bösendorfer grand piano.
And under James Leeds I release my pop or rather adult contemporary songs. On my last year's album Whenever I was fortunate to feature some great singers from the UK and musicians from around the world.
My aim has always been to create a timeless album that will still be listened to, or so I hope, in a few years’ time. For that reason I set the rule that most instruments should be recorded live. Hopefully the effort was worthwhile and you enjoy listening to the music. For more information please browse this website. Thank you for listening and thereby supporting me.
