Born in North Carolina, 22-year-old Jamie Tate has been singing and performing since the age of four. Her first on-stage performance was at Santa Fe Rose, then the premier country venue in Central North Carolina. Like many of today’s artists, she sang in church and community choirs, and acted and sang in school dramas while growing up. More recently, she had her first performance in Nashville and it was at the world famous Blue Bird Cafe!

She attended high school at Salem Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where she focused on music. While there, she participated in their well-known Glee Club and Spirit Ensemble, which led her to Europe where she performed in the London New Year’s Day Parade as well as the Gala Concert Series celebrating the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in Westminster Central Hall, London.

Jamie has a distinct sound that can go from classical pieces to traditional country. She is comfortable singing in Westminster Hall and a good old southern honky-tonk bar!

In 2008, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Western Carolina University with a degree in Psychology. She says, “I guess a degree in Psychology prepares me for the complexities of the music business and the life stories the music tells!”

Jamie married her high school sweetheart, Tommy Tate. They live in Cary, North Carolina.
