Where is Jamie T?

Where is Jamie T?

Jamie Alexander Treays was last seen and heard on the 22nd January 2013 on a track by Tim Timebomb called 'Wrongful Suspicion'. Jamie is now 28 years old and is a local in the Wimbledon area of London. 

If anyone finds him or sees him please..................

...................... get him to finish the album and start touring.

So I'm not going to lie about this, I am a Huge fan of Jamie T. The first time i heard Jamie T was 2006 on his 'If You Got The Money' single, I remember my brother playing it to me. From that point on my brother and I have just been waiting for new releases. His debut album 'Panic Prevention' was incredible and made it in to the top 12 for the Mercury Music Prize 2007. Although the album was released nearly 7 years ago now, it hasn't aged, this is why it is voted in many different magazines as one of the best of the decade. The album hosted 3 of his most successful songs, 'Shelia', 'If You Got The Money' and 'Calm Down Dearest' which was his highest chart hit making it up to 9th spot. For the rest of 2007 Jamie and his band the Pacemakers then had a busy year playing at Glastonbury, Oxegen, Radio 1's Big Weekend (Preston) and also Benicassim in Spain which then followed by a tour in the states.

2009 was the next big year for Jamie, in January he released a video to a much faster paced song called 'Fire Fire'. The song never made it to a release nor the album, Jamie told NME 'it is just a thank you for the fans'. May saw the first release which was 'Sticks 'n' Stones', the E.P included 3 extra tracks 'St Christopher', 'The Dance Of The Young Professionals' and one of my favourite B-sides ever! 'On The Green'. Jamie T's B-sides are always worth finding, if your reading this I'm guessing you are in to your music and often B-sides are there to fill space, Jamie's could make a top album. 

So in August came his second E.P of the year and second single off the up and coming album, 'Chaka Demus'. Again the E.P also came with 3 extra tracks (all amazing) one of the tracks 'Forget Me Not (The Love I Knew Before I Grew)' features Hollie Cook the daughter of Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, who is also a brilliant recording artist well worth checking out, Hollie Cook!
September 7th 2009 was the big day, 'Kings and Queens' was released on Virgin Records. The album made it up to 2nd in the UK charts and on release BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe said it was 'flawless' and his favourite album of the year. Unfortunately the rest of the year didn't go amazing after suffering from Laryngitis and having to cancel his Australian, European and UK tours. In November he released his 3rd E.P of the year called 'The Man's Machine' with another 3 extra tracks.
2010 saw Jamie's last release 'Emily's Heart', this being his personal favourite. This year also saw him reschedule his tours and headline the John Peel stage and Glastonbury. 

So now we are working with speculation from 2010 we have heard him twice, once on a track produced by Skream named 'Jason and Argonauts' this wasn't released. The most recent we heard from him was on Tim Timebomb's single 'Wrongful Suspicion' which he added backing vocals too. There has been many claims of Jamie working on his 3rd album but the latest claim seems to be a very strong one. The claim is from Manou a singer songwriter from London, its not anything she has said but its from a picture she added.   

So this brings us to now, and the big question. Jamie T is known for 2 incredible albums, tons of great singles and lively shows. He is remembered as a legend and my favourite artist of all time, do we want him back? If he comes back and releases a bad album, will that ruin his whole history? What if he tries something too different? Should he just stay a legend?

For me personally I'll give him another chance, I would love to see him live again!
