Hailing from the northern surf town of Mangawhai, Jamie McDell has always surrounded herself with the simpler things in life, like music, and the ocean. From surfing to diving to living on a sailboat in the Mediterranean for a number of years as a child, the shark-obsessed, dolphin-possessed water baby never strays too far from the beach, or her guitar.
Since the release of her first single ‘You’ll Never Take That Away’ in February, 2012 has been a whirlwind year for singer songwriter Jamie McDell, and November 16th sees the highly anticipated release of her debut full-length album Six Strings And A Sailboat.
Featuring #1 NZ singles ‘You’ll Never Take That Away’, ‘Rewind’ and the new single ‘Life In Sunshine’, the 13 track album showcases New Zealand’s brightest new songwriting talent.
