James blends artistry with strategy. A Jazz Studies graduate from the University of New Orleans and a freelance film composer, he has scored independent films—one of which earned acclaim at the Afro-Latino Short Film Festival.

Now pursuing his MBA at Tulane as a Distinguished Scholar, James is eager to fuse business with his creative vision.
