James Shaw (musician)
James Shaw (sometimes credited as Jimmy Shaw) is the lead guitarist of the popular Canadian indie rock band Metric, and also a member of Broken Social Scene. He was born in London, England and raised in Bellevue, Ontario.
He met Metric bandmate Emily Haines in Toronto, and the two began dating and making music immediately. His early efforts to make sure that former high school friends Haines and Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew helped the evolution of that band resulted in Drew referring to Shaw as "his husband."[1]
Shaw produced the debut album of the Montreal band The Lovely Feathers (who toured with Metric in 2005)
He is also a partial owner of Giant Studios in Toronto with Sebastien Grainger, member of Death From Above 1979.
