Jamie Wyatt is a striking figure with an old soul and a voice like a force of nature. Regardless of genre, the Los Angeles-based Wyatt is a dynamic performer, who sails naturally between vintage ‘60s and ‘70s country/rock ’n’ soul anthems and heartfelt country ballads of love and corruption. 

Wyatt got a record deal at the age of 17, with multiple soundtracks and movie placements, but after a second deal went down the tubes, she developed a drug problem.

She got busted for robbing her dealer and took a plea deal for eight months in jail, a felony strike, six months of treatment and three years felony probation. “I stayed out of trouble most the time in jail, by singing songs for people and making them laugh,” says Wyatt.

After she served her term, Wyatt, become enthralled with the music of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash - who had similar struggles with the law and substance abuse. She studied country music and toured in folk and country bands up and down the West Coast.

Wyatt grew up on a tiny rural island in the northwest with horses and animals. “I was heavily influenced by my southern hillbilly grandparents Papa Brown and Nana Lo” says Wyatt. “My first job was a at horse breeding farm, where I listened to 90s country music on the radio. Both of my parents were also singers and songwriters in the 80s” 

Wyatt spent much of last year on the road, playing clubs and festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest, Southwest and South, such as Wildwood Revival, Bandit Town, Chinook Fest and Long Beach Folk Revival Festival. She can frequently be found at the iconic Grand Ole Echo in her hometown of Los Angeles or playing spontaneous gigs at her favorite vintage clothing stores.
