Jamie T.

Breakout Wimbledon born singer-songwriter who fuses Clashlike ska-punk with the Streets-style rap.

Biography

With his appealingly lazy hip-hop vocal phrasing and his eclectic, bedroom D.I.Y. musical palette, Jamie T. at times comes across like the mutant love child of the Streets' Mike Skinner and Badly Drawn Boy's Damon Gough. His clever pop sense is his own, however, and keeps the young South Londoner from sounding like a mash-up of his influences, which range from vintage Jamaican ska to the Beastie Boys, via Tina Turner and the Clash. ~ Stewart Mason
