With the success of his 2009 release, "The Pursuit", and his newest release, "Devil May Care", many of Jamie Cullum's tour dates have already sold out. He has recently completed a comprehensive tour of the US. The British born musical star is gearing up for a long list of shows in Europe throughout the spring, surprising fans with his improvised jazz interpretations of popular artists mixed with his own original material.
The multi-instrumentalist from Hullavington, Wiltshire, England, was born in August of 1979. His mother is Anglo-Burmese and his father is English. He has a British Army officer grandfather and a grandmother who was a singer in Berlin nightclubs. Perhaps this is where the man gets his knack for entertaining.
Cullum's successful career is largely due to his ability to perform a wide range of styles. Although he is considered a jazz musician, he has a history of playing in several bands prior to going out on his own. His vast knowledge of musical instruments has enabled him to play drums in a hip-hop group and guitar in several hard rock bands. When he is asked to cite his primary influences, he names his brother, Ben Cullum, a producer and composer, as his main inspiration.
Cullum released his first album, "Jamie Cullum Trio-Heard it All Before" in 1999. At the time, he was only able to produce 500 copies of this celebrated first album. His popularity has made that album a collector's item; it is now quite valuable and rare, costing fans upwards of $1,000 on e-Bay.
It was not long after this that Cullum released "Pointless Nostalgic," Some of the artists the soloist lends his personal, 'Cullum-touch' to are: Rihanna, Radiohead, Elton John, Joy Division and even Burt Bacharach. Recorded in 2001, it also includes classics by artists such as Thelonious Monk and Gershwin. One reviewer wrote: "…Cullum's mellifluous tone, clarity of diction and exciting pianism, clearly mark him as a young artist with immense potential….this is a perfect showcase, breathing new life into tried and tested vehicles, there's an infectious devil-may-care swagger about the whole album."
"Pointless" caught the attention of English Broadcast journalists Michael Parkinson and Melvyn Bragg. Cullum's first television appearance on "Parkinson" in April 2003 ensued. It was very soon after this that Cullum was snatched up by Universal for a three-album contract.
Cullum is known for his charismatic entertainment style, his eclectic piano playing and his appealing good looks. He is also noted for using a device called the 'stomp box', which he found in Australia. The instrument is crafted from a wooden block and is used to amplify the sound of his tapping foot to the beat of his playing. His faster cover songs, such as the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army," are greatly enhanced with this technique. He is also known for integrating a looping machine into much of the material he performs.
He does not plan his shows or set lists; rather, he allows his own muse to guide him through the two-hour performances while he creatively weaves cover songs with his original material. The multi-instrumentalist and vocalist will often provide his own accompaniment, but also works with his five-piece band. Rory Simmons on Trumpet, Tom Richards on saxophone, Sebastiaan De Krom on drums and Chris Hill on bass make up the current band, which includes Cullum himself as the fifth member.
Cullum has received several awards that have acknowledged him as a noteworthy performer and a great musician. In January of this year he married British model Sophie Dahl at Lime Wood country house hotel in New Forest National Park in England.
