Jamie is head of online and print publicity for the roster. After attending the University of Liverpool to study Archaeology of Ancient Civilisations, he deferred his studies to follow his real passion in life when his fledgling band landed a record deal with Bad Religion imprint Epitaph Records. Following a short-lived career as a professional musician he began promoting rock shows independently in Liverpool, before moving into event management with Mama Group and various festivals.
Previous connections led him to a role in artist management and A&R where he worked closely with Marmozets, Decade and other burgeoning groups, eventually launching Wall of Sound PR in 2012. In 2019 he partnered with Bido Lito! and Merseyrail Soundstation’s artist development programme in Liverpool as part of their team of industry professionals delivering feedback and advice to young artists. He is also a freelance critic and has contributed to The Metro, Drowned In Sound, The Skinny, The 405, and many more publications over the years.
“Whilst we represent clients from a wide range of musical backgrounds, at its core Wall of Sound PR is based on a punk attitude – I care deeply about fostering a sense of community, working ethically and providing a fair deal for musicians and independent labels. A personal touch with members of the media, pride in our work, and a genuine passion for our clients ensure that we strive to provide the best service possible on every campaign we take on.”
