Jamie T is an English singer/songwriter whose blend of indie rock with hip hop, and experimentation with unusual sounds and eclectic instruments has led to a unique sound and a large, faithful following.

Real name Jamie Alexander Treays, Jamie T has been an active musician since 2005. His first album Panic Prevention was released in 2007 followed by Kings & Queens in 2009.

He then seemed to disappear off the face of the face of the earth for 5 years, a time in which various rumours of his return were spread around; all unfounded.

Though he appeared as a guest on Tim Armstrong from Rancid’s side project: Tim Timebomb and Friends, sadly, no new material of his own was heard. This is despite his own record label saying he was recording new material in 2012.

Then after a casual half decade hiatus, this hand written note appeared on twitter:

What followed was dubbed by NME as the greatest music moment of 2014, Jamie T had a huge comeback releasing Carry On The Grudge, as well as playing a string of gigs including two sell out, headline slots at Alexandra Palace.

In 2015 he released an EP, Magnolia Melancholia, which, while clinging to some of the darker undertones of Carry On The Grudge, hinted towards a rolling back of the years in Jamie’s songwriting and “crackles with the demo-flavoured charm” of 2006’s Betty And The Selfish Sons EP.

2016 saw fans treated to more new Jamie T, just 2 years after Carry On The Grudge, sparing us all the kind of post-Kings & Queens exodus and disappearance some may have feared. Instead, he released return-to-roots record Trick .
