Jamie is a professional songwriter, session guitarist and guitar tutor currently based in East London. He graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music in July 2021. Since then he has taught for Aura Music Academy, Front Row Music and Altrincham Guitar School. He has toured the UK extensively, supported the 1975 on their 2023 UK tour, supported Adele at Hyde park and has written songs with millions of streams on Spotify.

Jamie doesn’t view his performing and teaching careers as separate entities, one definitely informs the other! He loves getting new music recommendations from students and passing on tips and tricks he picks up from gigging up and down the country. He has performed at hundreds of weddings and corporate events and have taught for Aura Music Academy, Front Row Music and Altrincham Guitar School.

Jamie focuses on lessons for specific requirements, such as Grades, Just for fun, Music Theory and Composition. The structure that grades provide can be really inspiring! He has put many pupils through grade exams and, whilst exams aren’t for everyone, most pupils find the process rewarding. All of his lessons are tailored to the individual student, Jamie is always happy to transcribe songs that you want to learn or explore any genre that you’re excited about.

Music theory knowledge can help students to develop their own distinct creative voice - Jamie always tries to incorporate it subtly into each lesson to make the student feel that most of the time you won’t even notice you’re learning theory. He is also an experienced songwriter and producer. Having lessons with Jamie allows you to explore different song structures, learn how to craft more effective melodies or even look at writing compelling lyrics.
