Jamie T (born January 8, 1986 ; actually Jamie Treays ) is a musician from Wimbledon , England . His music mainly uses everyday instruments and noises, which are arranged into catchy pop songs with the help of sampling . Unusual combinations and borrowings from different styles ( folk , ska , but also electronic elements ) create new types of music. So far, all songs have been recorded in Jamie T's living room studio . His dialect brings him comparisons with Mike Skinner ( The Streets ) or Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys .
