Jamie hails from the great state of Wisconsin – home of cheese, snow, polka, and yes, da Pack! With a BA in International Political Economics and an MS in Broadcast Journalism, Jamie’s logical career endeavor was to travel the world playing piano! The opportunity to follow her dream arrived as an emergency opening for a keyboard player in a cruise ship show-band two weeks after finishing her Masters.

Predominantly self-taught, Jamie was thrilled to be thrown headfirst into her soul calling and through hard work and determination she is living and loving her dream of playing music professionally.

Cruise ship travel wooed Jamie to play jazz and cabaret around coastal South America, Dixieland music in the Med, and funky fusion in the hippest cosmopolitan ports of Scandinavia. Her land work includes playing in R&B, cover, and high-end corporate bands from British Columbia to Boston and she will be taking her art international in 2009.

Jamie also considers herself very blessed to be an instinctual composer. And a life love affair with the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim inspired Jamie to adopt Brazil's rich musical influences into her works. She has made many journeys to this magical land as a missionary, English teacher, and musician.

In the spring of 2007, her art brought her on scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston where she, as a first-semester student, accompanied the most prestigious concert of the scholastic year- The Berklee Singer/Songwriter’s Showcase. Jamie is currently at home in Wisconsin freelancing local piano lounges, private parties, weddings, and festivals.

Jamie’s new album "Dark Honey" is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, CD Baby, Lala and eMusic and is also debuting on radio stations in Portugual, Spain, and Macedonia.
