Jamie's collaborations showcase his versatility and innovation. His collaboration, "Solas (with Sarah Cothran)," holds deep personal significance and represents a creative milestone. Reflecting on the track, Jamie expressed, "The new version of Solas with Sarah Cothran is very special and important to me, and it’s been executed in a way I always dreamed any vocal version would be."

Jamie is ready to captivate audiences once again with his latest single, "Torus," a mesmerizing piece inspired by the cyclical swimming patterns of basking sharks. Jamie explains, "In this piece, I was inspired by basking sharks swimming in circles. This behavior mirrors my own experiences and relationships, often feeling cyclical. The torus-shaped circles these majestic creatures form symbolize the beautiful and wild aspects of life."
As Jamie embarks on this new chapter, he looks forward to sharing his music with audiences around the world. This autumn, Jamie will be embarking on a highly anticipated tour across Ireland, promising to connect with fans and further his journey as a musician.
