Jamie Woon (born March 29, 1983) is a British singer, songwriter and producer signed to Polydor who gained widespread acclaim in 2010 for his single Night Air, following his previous independent release, Wayfaring Stranger Ep. The son of Celtic folk singer and backing artist Mae McKenna, he was born and raised in New Malden in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Greater London. He was educated at Sacred Heart RC Primary School (New Malden), S.T Catherines RC Middle School (Raynes Park) & Wimbledon College (Wimbledon). He later attended the BRIT School, where he graduated the year before Amy Winehouse, whom he later supported live. Woon's sound and style is presently described as soul inflected vocals backed by samplers and programming, or a single guitar track. He describes his music as "... R&B, it's groove-based vocal-led music ...". On 4 January 2011, the BBC announced that Woon had been placed fourth in the BBC's Sound of 2011 poll. Woon's debut album is entitled Mirrorwriting and is to be released on 18 April 2011 via Polydor Records.
