Jamie Lawson

So why give your time and attention to Jamie? Even in a crowded marketplace there will always be room for an artist who has what it takes to be better than the rest. And if you love music and have a heart and a pair of ears, you'll recognise within the space of just one song that here is exactly that sort of someone.
The back story? Jamie was born and raised in Plymouth in what was he says a resolutely non-musical household. "No-one sang or played anything. We didn't have any records. My dad would listen to Radio 2 a bit but that was the extent of it. Then the elder of his two brothers got me into The Smiths, The Housemartins, the Jackson 5, a disparate trio of early influences, you might think, but Jamie says not really. "They're all very big on melody. And Morrissey and the young Michael Jackson both have a real passion to the way they sing."
Jamie's voice proved to be something very special indeed. No one who has heard him sing live would disagree, he has played with artists including The Frames, Martha Wainwright and Damien Rice, as well as having been chosen as opening act for outdoor gigs by both Van Morrison and Katie Melua. Even-keeled, even undemonstrative offstage, he comes alive in front of an audience and in the service of his songs. Jamie is not just a singer but also an exceptionally blessed and affecting one, whether with his regular band or in a solo and acoustic setting. His voice and songs have proven to work equally beautifully and well whether in a tiny indoor venue like London's 12 Bar Club or outdoors before 10,000 people"
