Jamie T is an English singer-songwriter from Wimbledon, South London. He is currently signed to Virgin Records, but released his Betty and the Selfish Sons EP on his own Pacemaker Records label. His backing bands are called The Pacemakers and he has lately been touring, advertising and releasing material as "Jamie T and The Pacemakers".

Zane Lowe made "Salvador" his single of the week and "Back in the Game" his Hottest Record in the World. On John Tweddle's show, "Back in the Game" featured as his "Pet Sound" and his single "Sheila" was Jo Whiley's Record of the Week. "Sheila" was also playlisted by BBC Radio 1 thus receiving more airtime across all shows. Jamie's songs received a lot of airplay on XFM throughout 2006, especially "Sheila" and "If You Got The Money". Then on 31 August 2009, he released a further EP, the "Chaka Demus EP" which includes the second single taken from Kings & Queens, also called "Chaka Demus". This too features three other songs; "Forget Me Not (The Love I Knew Before I Grew)", "Planning Spontaneity" and "When They Are Gone (For Tim)". A week later, on 7 September, second album Kings and Queens was released. This features 11 tracks (plus bonus track "The Curious Sound" featuring Ben Bones, when downloaded from iTunes). Jamie has said that his favourite song in this album is "Emily's Heart" because it reminds him of Emily Evans. After further investigation, it is found that Emily was a former girlfriend. Talking about Kings & Queens, Jamie said "I didn’t do my second album. I did my third one instead." On 24 June 2010 Jamie T performed material from the Kings & Queens album at the Engine Shed in Lincoln as a warm-up to his tour. A day later he played the 02 Academy in Liverpool. He then headlined the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury Festival on 26 June 2010.

In April 2012 the NME reported that Jamie T's record label informed them that he was "in the studio working on new material" when questioned. Further evidence of Jamie T's forthcoming return came when Luis from Jamie's band The Pacemakers mentioned Jamie T's forthcoming third album on the Jamie T fan forum. On 18 December 2012, Tim Time bomb released 'Wrongful Suspicion' featuring Jamie T with vocal/chorus on to YouTube.
