Jamie Woon is a DIY based musician, and it shows. After attending the BRIT School, Woon started out creating R&B vocal-led tunes backed by beat-box sampling and guitar. Personally, I am in love with Woon's recent work because it reminds me of a combination of the dark elements and primal, catchy garage beats of Burial with an R&B/pop vibe similar to Justin Timberlake's work with Timbaland. Finally! A great combination of R&B with dubstep! I knew it could be done! Luckily for us dubstep enthusiasts, Burial has already done a remix of Woon's "Wayfaring Stranger". Equally brilliant is Woon's amazing brand new (20 days old) song, "Lady Luck". I hope the two artists will continue to work together.
Also, there is a free download of his track "Blue Truth" if you Like his Facebook page!
"Jamie Woon is a brilliant example of the Electroacoustic [Club] ethos; the 21-year-old talent splices rootsy styles and DIY sample culture, enriching that musical mix with his soulful vocals and poetic observations." [METRO] (excerpt)
