Edit history

Aaron James, aka XMPLA has been making a name for himself with his genre-defying sound which combines an array of vocals with electronic production. The Sydney-based producer, singer, and songwriter burst onto the scene in 2017 after winning the Studio 301 ‘Is It A Banger’ competition and in the same month finishing as runner up in the YourShot DJ competition. XMPLA's debut release ‘Better’ sparked the ears of the industry with the tracks' compelling vocals and production, representing the many feelings he had at the time with the various characters in the song. In the latter half of 2018 XMPLA went on to release ‘Sun Goes Down’, a bouncy, future bass track, charged with his unique vocals and sonic flair while also exploring a more traditional songwriting structure. The release quickly became a favorite on Triple j and led him to become a ‘feature artist’ on Triple j Unearthed.
