<\/a><\/p>\nJamie N Commons is hailed as a modern day blues man and is responsible for showcasing blues in truly own way.<\/p>\n
The British born Singer \/ Songwriter spent the majority of his childhood growing up in Chicago, and took part in the BBC Music Poll a few years ago. His progressive sound and mature and coarse, gravely vocals have previously caught the attention of collaborators Eminem and Jay -Z, who appears on the latest track ‘Jungle’ which also features X Ambassadors and is currently riding high in the UK charts. We caught up with Jamie to talk time-out, touring and Marshall Mathers.<\/p>\n
It seems like you’ve been away for a lengthy amount of time- what have you been up too?<\/b><\/p>\n
Tinkering away in the factory, you know same old, same old. \u00a0To get from point A to Point B you\u2019ve got to go around the houses sometimes. \u00a0Oh and I moved to LA.<\/p>\n
Tell us more about the ‘X Ambassadors’ track featuring Jay Z – How did that collaboration happen?<\/b><\/p>\n
Well we had the song on the Beats By Dre headphones advert and it came about through that I guess. \u00a0I\u2019m glad it came\u00a0together though, I really like\u00a0Jay\u2019s verse on it.<\/p>\n
