Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

my name is James Deignan, and I want to write music for you.

I specialize in accessible, but sophisticated choral music and musical theater repertoire. Keep scrolling to hear what I’m up to. Each playlist is dedicated to an individual facet of my musical personality: Choral Music, Musical Theater, and Film Score.
