Jamie Woon

#soul #neo-soul
Jamie Woon, a 23-year-old modernist soul talent is vast getting a reputation for melting rooms with his unique voice, acoustic guitar and Loopstation. Jamie's hypnotic, all-vocal interpretation of lost-in-time folksong Warfaring Stranger gives a nod to the past, and a funked-up wave to the future, as dubstep hotshot Burial steps up with a beautifully dark and evocative remix. Shaped by old soul and folk as much as electronica, Woon draws on influences as diverse as Prince and Thom Yorke. He has established a massive live reputation through his own monthly event, OneTaste, tireless gigging around the country and a mega-vibrant profile on the MySpace community. There is real depth to his voice, equally at home singing acapella as it is bolstered by the latest street soul production â€" as heard on the Stitch remix. Already receiving radio airplay from tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson the momentum is building on Jamie’s debut single. With a Worldwide Awards Nomination and nods from trend spotters Dazed & Confused + industry bible Music Week Jamie Woon is set to go supernova any day now.

...can not be faulted on any front…Woon's supremely soulful vocal makes the tune outstandingly accessible. - OWTL

exceptionally atmospheric, near a capella …impressive stuff **** - Matt Anniss DJ Magazine

Soulful and sexy…Jamie makes the song his own…Burial takes the helm on the remix for an irresistible dubstep reworking - M8

A very distinct but conteporary sound that brings this 200 year old folk song into the 21st century and on to the dancefloor - Music Week

Woon succeeds where others have failed by combining innate vocal talent and awe-inspiring musicianship with a sense of curiosity and adventure. - Stylus

Likeable enough, but turn over and dubstep's enigmatic Burial does it again. - Fact

Exudes emotion and vulnerability beyond Woon's years. - Metro

This is folk sculpted from multi-layered vocals and clicked fingers; music with transportative rather than knitting power - Emma Warren Observer Music Monthly

Woons Single is a work of malevolent beaty that suggests an 'Unfinished Sympathy' of our time - Time Out

Like Warp's Jamie Lidell, Woon recalls Marvin Gaye and Prince, adding electromica topspin to his nu-soul ball. - Time Out
