WHO IS JPH?
I come across a lot of people who say 'You're nothing like I thought you would be!' or 'I didn't know you could play guitar or even drive!' and if all you've seen are the old skit videos from 2021 or new to this page then I shall introduce myself again.
Will the real JPH please stand up?
I’m James Peter Hatton, but most people know me as JPH.
I’m a musician, DJ & entertainer, from Swansea who’s spent the last decade jumping between some pretty mad chapters of life. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know I don’t tend to do things the easy way. I chase challenge, adventure and the next thing that pushes me forward.
Here’s a quick rundown of some of the things I’ve done so far:
🎸 Live Music
I started gigging properly back in 2017 with my guitar, Leaving a strong career Truck Driving to fulfil a 8 month contract in Paphos, Cyprus playing the Hotel and bar circuit throwing myself into the deep end finding my feet as a solo performer. It’s still one of my biggest passions.
🎤 DJ & Entertainment
I’ve held long-term residencies, including over 3 years running karaoke and DJ nights at Jack Murphy’s Uplands. I’ve supported Switch Disco, worked alongside Goldie Lookin Chain, and even supported Noel Gallagher. I’ve played clubs, bars, weddings and everything in between.
📹 Content & Comedy
I went semi-viral years ago with my original JPH chav skits & raps (The roast of ABM is still probably one of the best things I have ever wrote!), I’m slowly thinking of bringing some creative projects back into my life again. But that will come when the time is right for myself.
🚚 Motorsport & F1 Work
Away from the music world, I also work in motorsport logistics, travelling across Europe with race teams and handling the behind-the-scenes graft that keeps events running.
🎖 British Army Reserves
After Previously being in the Army and leaving in 2016, I have re-joined this year to rebuild myself mentally and physically and take on new challenges and adventures that I know will push me to stay disciplined and screwed on.
⛳ Golf
Golf is life.
🔥 Personal Growth
With all the highs, lows, comebacks, setbacks, and restarts. Every chapter has added something. And I try to do my best to focus on discipline, routine and becoming a better version of myself. Keeping myself on the straight and narrow and conquering daemons to be the best version of myself I can be!
So... If you’re new here, welcome.
If you’ve been with me through any part of this journey, thank you.
It's time to bring fun and happiness back and come through with it this time! :)
JPH
