James Worse is an Australian musician, vocal artist and poet. As an autistic individual, he uses drawing, sound and an entire alternative vocabulary to communicate everything he feels otherwise incapable of sharing due to misunderstanding, misinterpretation and situational mutism. He loves to collaborate creatively and has contributed to many diverse projects in the fields of publishing, music, filmmaking and spoken-word.
