James Domestic grew up in Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, is a poet, punk, musician, soul and reggae DJ, songwriter, vocalist, musician, and painter. He holds a doctorate from the University of Essex, has toured the world and elsewhere with The Domestics, and made records with more bands than is healthy or sensible.
