Artist interview

Jamie T

Jamie T has so far unleashed Selfish Sons, X and X and a debut album and full scale tour is due this year.

Jamie's spent the last year or so (alongside friend and programmer/producer Ben Coupland) in and out of a number of our studios, but predominantly The Toyshop. Indeed unconfirmable reports have put about rumours that this is, in fact - if not at birth, then certainly now - his actual surname. But a magazine of this quality wouldn't wish to comment on such bottom-of-the-barrel conspiracy theories. (However, when you read on, you'll discover that's probably the least ludicrous thought on these pages).

















MILC (perhaps foolishly) asked Jamie to write down a few of his current thoughts, and got far more than it bargained for. Kittens, panic and goatees await...
