Over the last five years, South London-born songwriter and producer Jamie Isaac has crafted a palate of hazy beats, jazzy piano and nocturnal soul, and carving a space of his own by infusing classically trained musicality with head-nod hip-hop rhythms. His debut album Couch Baby (2016) and 2018 follow-up (04:30) Idler had critics uniting in praise including The Guardian, dubbing him the “heir to Sade.” He's since performed a legendary COLORS session; become one of the faces of Levi's and Tommy Hilfiger; and performed live around the world, most notably enjoying his first sold-out headline tour of Japan.
