At a very young age, he started off with his passion for music by playing the drums, piano, and cello. When he is not making music for the film world, he still makes music, but for children. He has a sideline as writer and performer of the songs specially made for children.

If you are looking to take your career to a whole new level, Jamie has some really cool tips to share with young musicians in the industry. He recommended, “Just Say Yes and Fake it till you Make it!” Jamie believes in seizing the moments and grabbing the opportunities. His idea is to keep it interesting when you are going through a slow phase in life and not to wait for it to come to you. You will get to your destinations and if the path seems like a slower country road, think about the opportunity of not missing out on the beauty around you that may inspire you, which you may have missed if you are moving hastily on a freeway.
