Biography
James Hype was born James Edward Lee Marsland on 26 November 1989 in Wirral, Merseyside, England. He attended Calday Grange Grammar School and lived in Greasby.[2]
Hype discovered online music at the age of 13. This led to his parents buying him a set of DJ decks for his 15th birthday. At the age of 16, Hype landed his first residency, working as a warm up DJ at Destiny and Elite nightclub in Cheshire Oaks.[3]

In 2018, he collaborated with Craig David on the single "No Drama".
He is best known for the catchphrase “Who Does This?”, which is associated with his DJ performances, and his 2022 single "Ferrari" which reached number one in the charts in the Netherlands,[4] Italy[5] and Belgium.[6]
Hype presented a late-night radio show on Thursday nights on KISS FM from July 2017 to November 2019.[7] Hype is an ambassador for DJ equipment manufacturer Pioneer DJ and features in their online videos.[8]
In August 2025 he released the single "Waterfalls" featuring Sam Harper and Bobby Harvey.[9]
