The duo collaboration of Jamie Scott and TommyD, known as Graffiti6, have enjoyed a surprising 2009. Keeping their heads down busy in their NW London studio, the singer that is Mr Scott and production wizard Mr D, were caught by surprise when their psychedelic track ‘Stare Into The Sun’ was picked up by The Sun for their Summer TV /Radio campaign.
The Track defined Graffiti6 and gave rise to their unique psychedelic persona.
But of course it was never planned this way…
Musically, Graffiti6 takes you to a dream world filled with familiar yet new sonic senses. With childlike qualities of innocence and euphoria, early demos purvey the lush vocals of Jamie, and the happy melodic textures of Tommy’s unique interpretation of pop all tied up in a Big Beat. Early tipping has already emanated from Music Week, The Hit Sheet and Record Of The Day and even crossed the pond into Billboard.
The collaboration although as unexpected as they come, was also one that was relatively easy. Explains TommyD: "Graffiti6 is so effortlessly natural to me. I’ve seen so many artists fail cos they try to follow the crowd at the expense of what they really love. Jamie and I have a simple agenda. Just make great music and present it with passion"
As a rarity for this industry, the twosome had sense not to rush their record to coincide with the obvious benefits of their major TV sync. For them it’s more for the enjoyment of their craft as opposed to making a quick buck.
As Jamie alludes - "This has given me the chance to indulge myself in ways I never have, whilst making music that has lifted me to new heights. It’s the first time I’ve made records my mates want to party to, that for me is a novelty”.
Signed to Sony/ATV publishing, it is without surprise that the boys are still eyeing their options. What’s the rush? Tommy D has worked with music giants such as Kanye West, KT Tunstall and Janet Jackson. Jamie, who you may remember from Jamie Scott and The Town, has had success across Europe and Asia, working with the likes of Ron Sexsmith, and touring with Alicia Keys amongst other.
The boys remain in the studio but have expanded to a 6 piece hence the name. They are now joined by among others Jimi Crayon whose artwork and design will provide the visual backdrop to the music.
The band will start Gigging soon. As Jamie says – “This has so much energy live that I might need to take several breaks” But as ever with Graffiti6; anything can happen and will happen.
Graffiti6’s debut single will be released Spring 2010 with album to follow in the Summer.
