Description

Hello, I'm Jamie, I'm from the United Kingdom, in the northwest, bordering Wales and Manchester.
I lived in my own house for 20 years, but in 2016, I sold nearly everything I own to travel the world and try and find a new life for myself.

I studied, played and composed music since a young age. I learned music production at home, then at college, then at University. I can play Guitar, Piano, Drums, Bass, table tops, kitchen sinks and anything that makes a noise. I've played in several bands and have a pretty extensive, genre spanning, interest in most musical styles. I love teaching others how to play. I love jamming and writing with other people too. I'm usually always working on or producing something musical in my spare time. I have a digital music profile here - https://bosslevels.hearnow.com/
and a youtube of my acoustic stuff here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCGigv5jZl-EvEABKWEwYAA

I also studied IT in college and have been involved in computers in some way or another for most of my life. I have experience in PC and laptop repair, tech support, programming, gaming communities, networking, web design, video editing and production, teaching, wordpress and woocommerce web design.

I've had other experience in retail, charity volunteering, merchandising, restaurant work and hospitality but , probably like most, have no desire to be tied down to a 9 til 5, rat race style, existence.
I don't drive. Some people are born to drive and some to be driven, I feel i'm the latter. But i'm looking at changing this in the future.

I love animals and looking after them, especially domestic pets..cats, dogs, rabbits, and being followed around by Chickens makes me giggle.

I love socialising and exploring with others, and this carries over into my work, i'm happiest working with other people but am fully independent, and can work comfortably on my own.

Love to wander and discover new places, landscapes, cultures, architecture, galleries, museums and interesting buildings.
Other than music, i'm a big cinema fan. Love to discuss directors and soundtracks, and i'm quite partial to thriller dramas and 80's dystopian sci fi action movies. Also a fan of certain TV series, especially black comedies or satires.
Ideally i'd love to work in a media industry, producing or creating music or video or something in between. But like I say, maybe there's something else I haven't yet discovered that I can turn my talents to.

Want to know anything else? More info? just ask! Thanks for looking at my profile and hope to meet you soon :)
