Songer
James Songer, known professionally as Songer, is a British producer, rapper and songwriter from Wokingham, Berkshire. Within the drum and bass/jungle spectrum his work sits across Drum And Bass, Jungle and Liquid Funk while also drawing on UK rap and garage.
Songer first reached wider attention through viral freestyles on the BL@CKBOX YouTube channel. Those filmed performances — rap-led, verse-heavy appearances — helped push his profile online and brought his Wokingham-based output to new listeners.
He releases music independently. His projects include Dream Workz and the album SKALA. He has worked with UK artists including K-Motionz and D Double E, and his catalogue has earned significant streaming figures while he has remained largely independent.
As a producer and songwriter, Songer blends rap vocal performance with uptempo UK rhythms. His recorded work moves between measured garage grooves and faster DnB/jungle tempos, pairing verse-driven vocal takes with percussion patterns that reference shuffled garage and snappier drum and bass breaks. On vocal material he favours clear, front-and-centre vocal edits and concise arrangements that leave space for lyrical delivery.
In studio practice he combines multi-role tasks: writing lyrics, arranging vocal takes for filmed freestyles, and producing beat tracks that bridge UK rap and dancefloor-ready DnB. That crossover shows in collaborations with grime and UK rap figures such as D Double E and K-Motionz, where his contributions alternate between vocal features and production/songwriting input rather than only guest verses.
Specific career highlights tied to verifiable releases and appearances are the Dream Workz project, the SKALA album, the BL@CKBOX freestyles that amplified his visibility, and named collaborations with K-Motionz and D Double E. Public information about release dates, labels or an extended discography is limited; what is documented is that Songer operates independently and has translated online visibility into significant streaming numbers.
Songer remains active across multiple UK styles — from garage-tinged tracks to DnB and jungle-influenced cuts — while keeping control of his releases and continuing collaborations with UK rappers and MCs.
