Jamie N Commons released his U.S. debut Rumble And Sway EP earlier this year on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records and toured North America with Lianne La Havas.
Born in Bristol but raised in Chicago, Commons accompanied his music-obsessed father to Allman Brothers Band and Neil Young concerts when he was a little kid. At 10, the back-to-back releases of Moby’s gospel-infused Play and the Americana-tinged O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack prompted Commons to delve more deeply into the roots of rock music. By the time he was 15; Commons had scored his own guitar and started teaching himself to play. Newly signed to Alex Da Kid’s KIDinaKORNER , a label under Interscope Records that is also home to Imagine Dragons and Skylar Grey, Commons is gearing up to release a full-length album that will wield heady beats and boldly inventive grooves to create an entirely fresh style of blues-drenched rock.
