Jamie Hamilton: Biography
 

  Jamie Hamilton was born in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, before moving to the small town of Campbellville, Ontario where he was raised.  After graduating high school, Jamie's post-secondary education includes a diploma from Sheridan College in law and security.  Subsequently, Jamie attended both Brock and the Windsor Universities, studying sociology and communications.

  It was in the spring of 1994 when Jamie embarked on his music career, performing on the country music nightclub circuit, and at fairs and exhibitions in Ontario, Canada.  In 1998, Jamie nationally released his first recording on the Ocean Label.  The single "It's Our Time", established a presence for this artist in Canada. The follow-up single and video "Workin' Man", were released.  The video went into regular rotation on CMT in Canada, and it achieved the status of the highest-rated independent video in rotation on CMT at the time.

  In the fall of 1999, plans for a second recording, "Just You and Me", were put in place, including the writing collaboration with Jamie and Canadian Awards Winner, Thomas Wade.  Thomas also produced the recording, and Benny Quinn mastered the recording in Nashville, at Masterphonics.

  "She's Everything", the first single, was released in the spring of 2001, with the accolades of the industry in Canada, including the quote of Larry Delaney of the publication, Country Music News, that this recording is "loaded with radio friendly tunes" and that Jamie writes music that "hits are made of".  Jamie and the band recently performed in Calgary at the CCMA awards and at Ranchmans, a large country nightclub.  Both performances met with great response by the public, the industry and artists in attendance.

  The plan is now to introduce Jamie to the Nashville music industry and to promote and further his career in North America, and the rest of the world.  Jamie is managed by Allen & Moir Management in Canada.

  In February, 2002, "Can-Am Border", the new single will be released. The new version of this song was re-cut and mixed at Metalworks Studios in Toronto. L. Stu Young engineered, and Kenny Greer produced and played the guitars on the recording. Nick Blagona mastered the recording.
