IN THE SPOTLIGHT...<br />
JAMIE ARCHER<br />
MUSIC<br />
Jamie Archer is a 19 year old Funk-Rock<br />
solo artist from Halesworth, Suffolk.<br />
Currently studying at the University of<br />
Lincoln he is in his first year of Media<br />
Production. Jamie grew up in a household<br />
where music was around every corner,<br />
whether it be his brothers playing their<br />
guitars or his dad reminiscing in the<br />
lounge as he blared out Chic; it was safe to<br />
say music would undoubtedly become a<br />
part of his everyday life. Up until just over<br />
a year ago Jamie was very much a listener<br />
only, however having always wanted to<br />
produce something of his own, he did just<br />
that.<br />
Jamie began working on music, with<br />
influences from his upbringing becoming<br />
the forefront for establishing a genre. With<br />
a mix of his dad’s love of 80’s disco music<br />
and family’s shared love of rock, emerged<br />
a funky but also rocky vibe. Leading up<br />
to summer 2017 he continued producing<br />
such songs and began uploading them<br />
to BBC Introducing. BBC Radio Suffolk<br />
listened to his tracks and really liked them,<br />
following which they chose to broadcast<br />
them through the summer as part of the<br />
Introducing programme and receiving lots<br />
of positive feedback from listeners.<br />
Life was going great but then it all<br />
came crashing down. Towards the end<br />
of the summer Jamie’s mum tragically<br />
passed way and his world was torn<br />
apart. Suddenly everything about his life<br />
changed and music went out the window.<br />
Jamie expresses that during his grieving,<br />
he began to find that writing lyrics and<br />
producing music about his deepest<br />
thoughts and feelings served as a coping<br />
mechanism. Furthermore in time his love<br />
for music was reborn and soon began<br />
making more and more music, leading to<br />
being featured on Radio Suffolk again.<br />
A few months ago he had the realisation to<br />
make an album, to produce a soundtrack<br />
to his heartache, a testament to his grief.<br />
He decided early on the album would be<br />
entitled ‘Silently Loud’ due to the fact these<br />
songs were a way of taking his deepest<br />
thoughts that had been silent and loudly<br />
evoking them through music. Recently he<br />
has released a single off the upcoming<br />
album, which has been broadcast on<br />
university radio and subsequently the<br />
appreciation for which has led to him to<br />
becoming the University of Lincoln Artist of<br />
the Week. Which brings us to the present<br />
day.<br />
Jamie’s debut album ‘Silently Loud’ is now<br />
out across all music platforms including<br />
Spotify and iTunes.<br />
