James Newton
"North Star" by James Newton /Album HEARTLAND
North Star is a song for all of you,
who have lost something or
someone you love dearly.
That could be a person or a path,
an idea where to head in life:
a perspective. This song is for everybody...
to come together in our loneliness.
"I wrote this album during the most challenging time of my life. In 2019, I lost my mother to cancer. I had to do something. Something. I decided to make an album and spent the majority of last year writing and recording it. This album is about loss. About death, quite frankly. But it is also about life, hope and a way forward. Most importantly it is an attempt to communicate."
Born and raised in Germany, James Newton's roots are in the North-West of England. Music ran in the family, but first he left school at the age of 16 to study acting instead. Music and writing songs was always present. "Heartland" is James Newton's debut album. Check it out!

An Interview with James Newton about his Debut Album
Streaming live from the Metropol Theatre in Munich on Thursday, April 22nd, 2021, from 8pm
Musician and actor James Newton presents his LP in a fascinating theatre ambience and talks about the album’s background and connection to lebensmut e.V.
This is also a highly anticipated premier for lebensmut e.V.
James Newton (29), German actor and musician with British roots, is donating all the proceeds from the sale of his debut album to the psycho-oncological organisation lebensmut e.V.
Live from the Metropol Theatre at 8pm, his LP will be placed onto a record player for the very first time to experience his emotional and pure songs. James Newton is hoping for a good start for his promising vinyl:
“All proceeds from its sale will go to lebensmut.”
James Newton’s reasons for the involvement with lebensmut are very personal: when his mother, Janet Newton, was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, she and her children turned to lebensmut. The organisation lebensmut e.V. offers support for cancer patients and their families in close collaboration with the LMU clinic. Lebensmut employee Serap Tari became an especially important figure in the 3 years leading up to his mother’s death – as a sign of his gratitude, the psycho-oncologist will be present at the album premier as a guest and conversation partner: “I’ve realised now that in order not to drift off into isolation after a traumatic event, the only thing that helps is to talk about it.” Shortly after the loss of his mother in 2019, James started working on “Heartland”: “This album is an attempt to communicate, when words fail.”
Also present on stage: Jochen Schölch, director of the Metropol Theatre, of which James Newton is an ensemble member. Newton was part of various productions at the Residence Theatre and the Metropol Theatre in Munich, as an actor, musician and performer, while completing his studies at the Bavarian Theatre Academy August-Everding; followed by TV productions and his cinema debut in 2018 in the comedy “After-work beer”.
