My name is James A. Goins. I am a Theatre and Film composer. I enjoy creating new and challenging music for theatre and Indie films.

James has been involved in the arts since the age of 5! He comes with a background in teaching, writing, directing and composing both for theatre and film.

James holds a BA in Theatre from California State Dominguez Hills, a Certificate in Film Scoring from UCLA, a California Teaching Credential, and a Ryan Designated Subjects Vocational Education Credential in Theatre Arts. He is a member of BMI and the Academy for New Musical Theatre. He is also the Executive Director of the Laity Institute of the Arts.

As a composer, he has composed original music for musicals,
plays and film. In addition to composing original music for his own CD "Born to Score!" James' passion for the arts is matched only by his passion for his family.
