The 24-year-old London-based singer-songwriter has convinced critics and fans alike with his modern-day interpretation of the blues rock genre. Signed to Alex Da Kid‘s label KIDinaCORNER, Jamie is currently prepping the release of his Desperation EP which is due March 5 digitally and March 12 in physical form via KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records.
