James Watts, 24, recently graduated from The University of Houston, where he earned degrees in both music and Chinese studies. In addition to violin, James is a serious pianist, and recorder player. After his sophomore year at UH, he spent a year living and studying on full scholarship at the extremely prestigious Tongji University in Shanghai, where he had the opportunity to serve as the concertmaster of the Tongji University Symphony Orchestra and was even an extra in a Chinese blockbuster film called "For Love or Money." When he is not practicing violin, James spends his time knitting obsessively, he is pictured here in one of his own high fashion hand-knitted creations.
