James William Marriott (born 7 July 1997) is an Swiss-Born English musician. He is best known for his No. 1 UK charting album Don’t Tell The Dog. He charted at No. 17 on the UK Albums Chart with Are We There Yet? and No. 67 on the UK singles chart with "I Don't Want to Live Like This".

Marriott was born in Switzerland but grew up in Buckinghamshire. After uploading videos of his instrumental acoustic music, he attracted attention after diversifying into caustic YouTube commentary videos and Twitch livestreams. A debut single, "Slow Down", was released in May 2020, followed by the extended plays (EPs) No Left Brain and Bitter Tongues and his debut album Are We There Yet? in 2023. Marriott cites Foals and the Strokes as major influences and his music is generally described as indie rock.
