Who am I?
I'm a young (19), British YouTuber, author, narrator, and musician called James Butler. I'm very aspirational, and probably too hard-working for my own good. I hope to expand into even more avenues eventually, who knows which, but I probably- definitely- will.
This website is like a hub for all of my work. Everything can be accessed here in an easy-to-understand format so that you won't get lost, but, in case you do, there's a navigation pane in the top, right corner. Have fun exploring my life!

Get To Know My Stuff
Space is a song which is, like Unconventional Routes, the first in a series of three singles- or, at least, at the time of writing this, that's the plan. I'm aiming to make these singles quite different from each other, and without giving-away too many of the ideas which I currently have for the next, two songs, the way which I've decided to do that is via making them fit into different genres/ to make them fit different energies and atmospheres. Space is the one of these singles which I've decided to asign the style which I can only thing to refer to as "atmospheric" or "vibey"- quite like one of my other singles: Anymore. I had a lot of ideas for Space which I thought would be quite interesting to try, such as layering a lot of very-different vocal takes on top of each other, and using an almost-excessive amount of reverb to fill the atmospheric style. I love the way that this had come-out, and I think that it's one of my favourite songs of mine.
My YouTube Channels
I have multiple YouTube channels: one to host my music, one specifically for ASMR, and one where I post whatever I want, though mainly gaming content. Here's a bit about them!
James Butler
This is my main YouTube channel, the one which I've been running since I was 10. This mainly sees my uploading relatively short gaming videos, at least at the time of writing this, but also features some additional content which I've just felt like making. This is essentially my creative outlet for my random ideas which don't fit into anything which I currently do.
James Butler - Music
This, as you can probably guess from its title, is my hub on YouTube for all of my music. Why do I upload it all manually instead of letting YouTube make an automatic page on YouTube music? Mainly because it gives me more control over my videos as I wouldn't be able to run end-screen elements, add descriptions, or, I believe, have comments on my songs if they're done automatically.
James Butler - ASMR
Last, and certainly not least as it's my most popular channel at the time of writing this, is my ASMR channel. Why do I have an ASMR channel? Mainly to help people (but the added benefit of another way to grow an audience was also a factor.) I suffer from anxiety, and I know how awful bad anxiety attacks can be, and, while I've never sought solace from bad episodes using ASMR, I know that a lot of people do, and that it helps with a lot of other things like concentration, insomnia, etc, not just anxiety, but that was my inspiration. It was also just another thing to try doing, and I found that I like the challenge of coming up with prompts, and bettering my skills of voice acting and improv with every video. Essentially, it seemed like a fun project, and it's definitely paid off!
My YouTube Channels
Merch
As you could probably expect given my wide range of music, books, games, audiobooks, and YouTube channels, I have an online store which is dedicated to my merchandise, and is being updated frequently! Have a browse if you're interested! jamesbutlermerch.com is the domain.
The store features a lot of designs over various types of products, along with links to my various works online. It almost acts like a second portfolio for me, with the main idea being that fans of my music, or my writing, for example, can discover some of the other things which I do while browsing for some merch.
The site utilises print on demand services to be economical, and resourceful, which does mean that delivery time can be slightly longer than other online retailers, though the end result is a more eco-friendly store. Print on demand is also commonly associated with bad quality, but I've ensured that I've partnered with considerate, high-quality companies to produce my merch. The higher quality does mean that I have to charge more than I would ideally like to, but I've kept the prices as low as possible while still making it a worthwhile venture. As of right now, buying my merch is probably the best way to directly support me.
Here are just a few of my favourite designs!
