JAMIE WOON - What?

   / Electro-RnB, UK          (posted in Danish, 2011 November 21st)

EDIT: 

Now I've had the album Mirrorwriting for some days and I must say it is incredibly beautiful, near perfection and top class. When I play the album I forget what I was doing just to listen some more. The article below should be more about the album and less about the remix. It is well composed and well produced. Reminds me of Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Calvin Harris and Eric Benét ... just a slightly different genre. Here's a taster of the album: the video Night Air.

Jamie Woon is one of tomorrows musicians. He grew up in the London area with a Malaysian / Chinese father and a Scottish / Irish mother. He's got multiculturalism from the start, and maybe that's why he's such a talent.

He is a singer / songwriter / producer and he also remixes music for other musicians. His own music is a mix of R&B, samples, programming, guitar, etc.

He released his debut album Mirrorwriting in 2011 including a pair of singles so far and he was declared as no. 4 in the vote "The BBC's Sound of 2011".

He has remixed the quiet  (some might say half boring) song "Video Games" by Lana del Rey and got a very interesting result and it was released as an official remix.

EDIT: 

Jamie Woon injured his leg in 2013 and had to cancel several concerts. Since then he has not shown much new. He has sung with and produced for some other artists. Rumors say he is working to publish music again "soon".
