1)Jamieson born Gordon Jamieson Jr. is a London born and bred rapper, writer and producer.
2)An USA soul singer songer-writer
1)For Jamieson growing up in Kilburn, a multicultural London district, with his Colombian Mother and Scottish Father has been beneficial for him not only as a person but also as a musician. His exposure to so many different cultures growing up introduced him to various musical genres, influenced by everyone from Cypress Hill, WuTang, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Rod Stewart to Salsa group Los Hermanos Lebron, Nina Simone and some of his own peers currently on the rise.
He first stepped into the world of music as a producer at the age of 15, a move that was more recreational than career oriented at the time. Unfortunately he struggled to get artists into the studio to rhyme over his beats, so instead of wasting his time he decided to try rhyming over his own beats. After a couple of years, around the age of 18 he and his peers began to notice his talent, ultimately beginning his transition from producer to rapper.
Jamieson formerly known as “Killagram” began actively pursuing his career as a rapper at the age of 21, when he began rhyming with long time friend K.I.N.E.T.I.K as rap duo “Twisted Thoughts”. While he held regular day jobs which included a desk job at a local hotel and a teaching position at a local school in the evenings to non-English speakers, his music was always his main priority. He performed several nights a week as a part of “Twisted Thoughts,” and they gradually made their way through the UK’s underground Hip Hop scene, eventually leading them to perform at what could be compared to the Hip Hop version of American Idol in the UK.
Jamieson did well for himself in the UK, but always felt his opportunities were limited because there really wasn’t a “lane” for his kind of Hip Hop, which was different than the style of Hip Hop popular in the UK called “Grime”. Jamieson always believed success in London would only take him so far, but making it in New York could mean an even greater level of success.
In 2005 New York City finally became a definite possibility when Jamieson was offered an opportunity to intern at a well known record label in the city. While apprehensive at first, the final push towards New York came after he spotted a British Airways Ad for flights from London to New York on his way back from a job interview. He took the Ad as a sign, booked his flight two days later, and arrived in New York one month after that. For the first year Jamieson stayed in near by New Jersey before finally settling in the projects of the South Bronx, which he’s called home for the past couple of years. The internship which got him a foot in the door eventually became a full time gig and his personality, hard work and talent have helped him survive and work his way within the industry.
In 2007 Jamieson released his first mix tape entitled “The Foreign Exchange,” hosted by G-Unit’s own DJ Whoo Kid. After that he took some time to focus on what would be his next project entitled “I Came, I Saw Vol. I-III”. This most recent project is a trilogy of EPs, through which he tells the story of his time since being here in the US. The first volume released in July 2010 was hosted by the popular music website DJBooth.net, and the second and third volumes are slated for release in early 2011.
Jamieson has already caught the attention of several industry heavy weights, among them Universal Music Group’s CEO Doug Morris, founder of Loud Records and SRC Steve Rifkind, RZA, Yelawolf and B Real of Cypress Hill. He has opened up for artist such as Cappadonna (WuTang), Akon, Ray J, Shontelle, Melanie Fiona, Asher Roth and Flo Rida. He has also worked with artist such as Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Skyzoo, Emilio Rojas, and Sony recording artist Samuel.
Jamieson has received a great deal of support thus far and continues to be featured on several major websites and Hip Hop blogs in the US and abroad which include XXLmag.com, Thisis50.com, Hiphopdx.com, 2dopeboyz.com, OnSmash.com, TheHipHopChronicle.com, Hip-HopKings.com, Nahright.com and Grime daily. Jamieson is determined to make his mark, and his commitment and hard work are already paying off, this is definitely only the beginning for this London storyteller.
2)Funky and soulful, Jamieson uses his favorite musical inspirations like Soul, Doo-Wop, Jazz and Bluegrass.

Jamieson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My souls uplifting
We're on a mission to give back what we're given
We're all different unique and magnificent
Just a small change can make a big difference
But change it starts with yourself
God said if you help yourself then i will help
So if you look deep down inside yourself
It doesn't cost anything to smile
You can brighten up someone's day for a while
Tribulation or you're going through a trial
Just be positive and you'll win by a mile yes!
If you come and take my hand
We can make them understand
That we can try and change the world
We can make a difference
Just believe and you will see
This is how it's meant to be
We can't try and change the world
And we can make a difference
Now's the time it's never too late
Aim for stars you were born to be great
If yesterday was bad today's a new slate
Love conquers fear so don't be afraid
To make mistakes that's were stripes are earned
Be grateful for your errors because that's where you learn
Have fun spread joy that's so necessary
And spread more love than st valentine in February
Negative vibes don't sound good
No emails cos I changed my outlook
And you can too if your sick of it
Together we can change the world just a little bit
If you come and take my hand
We can make them understand
That we can try and change the world
We can make a difference
Just believe and you will see
This is how it's meant to be
We can't try and change the world
And we can make a difference
Think it believe it the only way to be it
Focus on your dream it's the only way to see it
I mean it these are the tools we need
We need to succeed your young and you're free
Colored blind we all need the change
Cos under our skin we all bleed the same
So let's decrease the pain
And increase the praying
Love each other more that's the message I'm portraying
Regardless of your religion or your race
We can come together make the world a better place
So now the chance to take a stand
We can show the whole world that we can and show them that we can
If you come and take my hand
We can make them understand
That we can try and change the world
We can make a difference
Just believe and you will see
This is how it's meant to be
We can't try and change the world
And we can make a difference
If you come and take my hand
We can make them understand
That we can try and change the world
We can make a difference
Just believe and you will see
This is how it's meant to be
We can't try and change the world
And we can make a difference
