Inspired by singer/songwriters Simon and Garfunkel, Jamie Scott formed a duo in college and played acoustic shows in London. During this time, a dying aunt bought him a new piano. For the next three years, Jamie Scott spent his time playing records and writing music.
Music career:
According to his website, Jamie Scott never listened to popular, contemporary music while he was growing up.Jamie started his musical career by pursuing a publishing deal for music written for someone else to sing. When Jamie Scott sent his demo tape to publishers, they responded that they liked his voice and wanted Jamie to sing the songs for himself. Because of this, Jamie Scott signed a contract with Sony Music in 2002. He then teamed up with producer Toby Smith, a former keyboardist from Jamiroquai, to work on his full-length album. As he was working on this album, Jamie Scott played solo shows with only his acoustic guitar. He then played a Blues & Soul magazine tour. Following this, he performed with artists such as Carleen Anderson, Mario Winans, and Ginuwine.
Jamie Scott writes music on his guitar, and always starts with the song first. He insists that he cannot write in a format specifically to get onto the radio. Jamie Scott’s songwriting is a way for him to make sense of life and relationships. The lyrics for his song, “Just” were inspired by “The Prophet” by Khalil Gibran. According to his website, the song, “Searching,” is about trying to make it in the record industry and not listening to people who try to bring you down. But it could also apply to any situation where you lack confidence, but are trying to appear strong.
Jamie Scott’s full-length album, then titled “Soul Searching,” was scheduled to be out in early 2005. However, due to the merger between Sony and BMG, production got delayed. His newest song, “Made,” is on the soundtrack to the motion picture Step Up. Jamie Scott performs the song in the film, and he also has a brief part as the character, Colin. He also plays guitar while Drew Sidora is performing “Til the Dawn.”

Little girl with your mother gone, so afraid nobody to tell
She's going through changes
Treating him don't mean a thing he don't trust you girl
He's going through changes yeah
When you're all alone nobody to lean on don't think so heavy
You're going through changes baby
It's just a little love, just a little hope
To fall down beside of you, and man you're flying
Just a little love, when a far wind blows, just to pick you up
Man you're flying, say yeah
You're flying yeah
Damn the world says the man who can't see his own kid
He's going through changes
How ironic that we used to be friends but right now
girl we can't even pretend
We're going through changes
When the man inside don't even know how to react,
I'll tell you something baby
He's going through changes lately
It's just a little love, just a little hope
A little rail wind blowing, man you're flying
Just a little love, when a far wind blows, just to pick you up
I said man you're flying, say yeah
Flying yeah
Mary you know you're life is so courageous
It's put upon you and the words you know
And you just cannot define the love you got inside of you
You know it's a strong wind holding you up
Just a little love, a little life
Fall down inside of you, and man you're flying
Just a little love, when a far wind blows, just to pick you up
Say man you're flying
Oh it's just a little life, oh just a little life
To fall down beside of you, man you're flying
Just a little love, when a far wind blows, just to pick you up
I said man you're flying, flying yeah.
