history Jamie was born in the UK to an English mother and an American father.
His father was in the USAF, so he was brought up in the US bases in US and Japan. He followed his family to England when his father retired from the USAF.

After finished the school, he started his career with the band called Merlin in 1971, who recorded an album on the CBS label and toured supporting David Essex. At the time (early 70's) Melody Maker profiled the two new bands, Queen and Merlin, comparing one against the other.

Late in 1992, when Brian May lost support vocalist Chris Thompson, and rhythm guitarist Mike Casswell, Spike Edney recommended Jamie for both jobs. Since then he is working as the reliable Brian's right-hand man and touring all over the world.

He is also a member of Spikey's All Stars Band (SAS Band), and has some gigs every year since 1994. The band has released their debut album in 1998, and you can hear Jamie's work "Once More" or his vocal in this album.
