James Mathison

Co-hosting the ARIA Awards and co-presenting Australian Idol both meant holding a live audience with the cameras rolling, and James Mathison has done both. His break came through Channel V's national reporter search in 2000, which led to work with the music channel, and music and live entertainment have stayed close to his career since. He hosts corporate functions as well, where the interviewing and live TV experience comes in handy. Awards nights, launches and music-themed events all suit him. Home for him is New South Wales.
