Growing Up In The Working-Class City Of Cardiff, Jamie Publicly Shied Away From
His Natural Talent. Worried About What His Rugby And Football Player Friends Might Think, He
Downplayed His Passion And Ambition. At The Same Time, He Harbored An Obsession For Gospel, R&B,
And Soul Fostered By Mom And Dad. His Parents Introduced Him To Motown Classics And The
Catalogues Of Donny Hathaway And Michael Jackson At HomeEven Though He Often Hid Under The
Table In Choir Class, “So No One Could See I Was There From The Outside,” He Admits. After High
School, Jamie Took A Job In A Call Center As He Quietly Honed His Voice And Listened To Bruno
Mars, Sam Smith, And More. “I Knew I Wanted To Do Music Forever,” He Goes On. “I Never Had A
‘Plan B’. I Come From A Really Small Town. If You Walk Down The Street, You’ll Know Everybody.
It’s One Of Those Places Where You Keep To Yourself Though. People Have Office Jobs; They Don’t
Become Singers. I Kept It A Secret, Because I Was Afraid Of What Everyone Might Think.”
Nevertheless, In 2017, At 18 Years Old, He Mustered Up The Courage To Leave Home, Temporarily
Move To London And Appeared For The First Time On Broadcast Tv In The Uk, Which Led To An
Explosive Online Presence And Viral Displays Of His Incredible Talent. Signing To Atlantic
Records Soon After, He Relocated To Los Angeles And Dove Into Writing And Recording New Music. A
Change Of Scenery, Just The Right Amount Of Culture Shock, And Countless Sessions Shaped His
Signature Soul-Pop Style. "My Sound Crystallized When I Moved To L.A.," He Admits. "When I Was
Living In The Uk, I Was In My Comfort Zone. I Knew My Surroundings. I Never Really Experienced
Anything I Was Afraid Of. When I Got Here, I Was In The Studio Every Day. I Had To Write About
My Feelings. I DidnT Know Many People At The Time, So I Put Everything Into My Music. I Figured
Out What I Wanted To Do As An Artist. I Was Such A Shy And Nervous Kid. ID Put Myself Down. I
DidnT Really Feel Like I Deserved The Opportunity Because Of Where I Came From. L.A. Can Be A
Tough Place, But It Made Me Realize Dreams Do Come True. It Feels Like Home Now." In The End,
Jamie's Truth Shines Anywhere And Everywhere As Much As His Voice Does. "I Want Everyone To Know
My Music Comes From A Real Place," He Leaves Off. "It's My Life. I Aim To Give Them Three
Minutes Of Happiness. I Came From A Town Where There Wasn't Much Opportunity, But I Was Willing
To Get Out And Move To The Other Side Of The World. IVe Gotten Strength From The Journey. I
Hope To Share It In The Music."
