BISCUIT AND BUDDY
“I chose to do this project because George ‘Buddy’ Miles has inspired me as a musician,” says Rouse. “It has inspired me to not recreate his works note for note but to create an exploration of his musical legacy. Buddy is the blueprint for what I am aspiring to do as a drummer that can sing.”

James "Biscuit" Rouse, a native of Philadelphia, is a highly sought-after drummer with a remarkable track record. Not only has he showcased his drumming prowess, but he has also served as the musical director for renowned artists such as Miss Lauryn Hill, Vivian Green, and Syleena Johnson.
Biscuit's musical journey has encompassed a diverse range of genres, from collaborating on House music projects with producer Kenny "Dope" Gonzales to touring alongside notable figures such as Living Colour, Ashanti, Kelis, Nile Rodgers, Vernon Reid, and the Screaming Headless Torsos.
Biscuit has also proven himself as a skilled producer and songwriter, collaborating with a multitude of exceptional artists. Noteworthy among these collaborations is his work with the award-winning Haitian producer and film scorer Jerry Wonda (of Fugees fame). Biscuit's collaboration with the rising artist "The Violin Diva" resulted in the production of the enchanting track "Bethlehem," featured in the 2022 film "Miracle Before Christmas."
Biscuit is now preparing to release his debut album “buddy and biscuit”, scheduled for worldwide release in the fall of 2024 on German funk/jazz label Leopard, part of Broken Silence Distribution.
