MUSIC & AUDIO PORTFOLIO
Classic Vibes to Future Grooves
JAMMES LUCKETT – SONGWRITER | COMPOSER | MUSIC EDITOR
I’m a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a deep passion for storytelling. While my specialties are alternative rock, classic pop, and power pop, a lifelong immersion in music from diverse genres and eras has shaped my work as a composer and music editor. This eclectic background has allowed me to fuse varied sounds, styles, textures, rhythms, and emotions into distinctive musical experiences.
For over 20 years, I’ve leveraged this approach to deliver original scores, songs, themes, and jingles for major and independent film, TV, and advertising, and other productions. I’ve also enhanced soundtracks through related work as a music supervisor, licensing coordinator, voiceover artist, and sound designer. I’ve also worked as a songwriter and session player and touring member for other artists and have had my original work covered by others.
Have a look at my showreel below, followed by other featured audio and video clips below from my songwriting and composer portfolios, respectively.
IN ACTION
ShowREEL
A Showcase of My Work Across Various Genres
This reel highlights strengths in both composition and music editing skills.

AUDIO HIGHLIGHTS
FEATURED SONGWRITING
Original Songs for Albums, Soundtracks, Games and other needs.
These playlists feature excerpts from some of the work I’m most proud of as a songwriter. They’re part of a catalog of over 1,000 songs across rock, classic pop, power pop, electronic, and other genres. They’re not imitations of sounds but a synthesis of a lifetime spent as a genuine lover of music through an outsider’s punk/jazz lens.
While I’ve released work under various recording artist names and earned score credits as a composer, I consider myself a songwriter above all. As a multi-instrumentalist with a versatile voice, I created multiple solo band projects to ensure there is always a vehicle for my songwriting and performance work.
I can write popular music from practically any era. Hire me to write and/or arrange custom original songs, jingles, and themes or adapt a cover for you, whether for recording artists or soundtracks. You can also license existing tracks. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll find or create something perfect for you. Over the past 20+ years, my songs have been placed in numerous film, TV, and advertising projects, covered by other artists, and I’ve also written and co-written material with others.
ROCK & POWER POP
These guitar-driven tracks span the worlds of Alternative, Grunge, Punk, Post-Punk, Metal, and Melodic Rock. From anthems to ballads, these songs often subvert and deconstruct popular music. You’ll hear textured layers, syncopated rhythms and phrasing, and rich melodies and harmonies, and memorable vocal hooks all within a strong verse-chorus structure, with a clear debt to the cool jazz of the 1950s, the pop sensibilities of the 1960s, and the power of 1970s rock.
CLASSIC POP
1960s and 1970s-inspired tunes inspiring sing-alongs in the back of a station wagon: British Invasion, Motown, French Yé-Yé, Garage Rock, Psychedelic, Dub, hybrids, etc.
ELECTRONIC
Synth-driven dance tracks and cinematic soundscapes, often not easily categorized in today’s landscape, but which take listeners on a journey. Expect flavors reminiscent of Electronica, Trip Hop, Orchestral Hip Hop, and Industrial.
