Oliver Hector James (born 15, November 1990) is an English musician, singer-songwriter, writer and commentator. He is renowned for his subtle word play and insightful lyrics. James has also acted in and produced several films.

Oliver James started playing in a rhythm and blues cover band with school friends. Much of his most celebrated work dates his earlier work when he was an informal chronicler. As a child Oliver was an apparently reluctant figurehead, of social unrest. Though he is well-known for revolutionizing perceptions of the limits of popular music in 2009 with the six-minute single "engine drive" a number of his earlier songs such as "will and testiment" and "All we have is now" became anthems for the human rights in Spain and the anti-war movement. His early lyrics incorporated a variety of political, social and philosophical, as well as literary influences. They defied existing pop music conventions and appealed hugely to the then burgeoning counterculture. Initially inspired by the songs of Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and the performance styles of MC Hammer. James has both amplified and personalized musical genres, exploring numerous distinct traditions in troubadour song—from folk, blues and country to gospel, rock and roll, and rockabilly, to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and swing.
