James Childs (born 12 June 1972 in Bristol, UK) is a British musician and composer-producer. He grew up in the nearby town of Portishead. As a member of the rock group Airbus, he contributed to Bristol's flourishing music scene during the 1990s. Childs worked with Geoff Barrow on a remix of the Portishead hit single "Sourtimes". Signing to BMG in 1997, Childs gained moderate success with Airbus in the UK. He then moved to Los Angeles in 2001 and worked on the group’s material with producers Rick Parker and Richard Dashut, who produced ''Rumours'' by Fleetwood Mac. Airbus disbanded in 2002. In 2003, Childs formed 'Black on Sunshine' with Peter Finestone, the original drummer for Bad Religion. He then joined forces with Chris Cockrell, formerly of Kyuss, in the band 'Vic du Monte's Idiot Prayer' and produced their album ''Prey For The City'', which was released on the Duna Records label in February 2005. While playing keyboards and bass guitar in the band, Childs and Vic du Monte's Idiot Prayer successfully toured all of Europe in spring 2005. Childs and Cockrell moved on to form 'Vic du Monte's Persona Non Grata' with Alfredo Hernandez, who played drums in Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. Vic du Monte's Persona Non Grata signed to Cargo Records and have been touring together since 2005. Childs also collaborated with Motörhead drummer Philthy Animal Taylor on a project called 'Little Villains'. When he is not touring, he composes music for film and TV often with long-time friend and musical collaborator Andy Sturmer. The pair were nominated for an Emmy Award for composing the theme tune for Disney XD's ''Kick Buttowski'' cartoon.
