Jamie Cullum

With 10 million albums sold and over 890 million streams to date, Jamie is a globally acclaimed musician with loyal fans around the world. He made his name as a jazz singer and performer 20 years ago with the Brit Award and Grammy-nominated album Twentysomething and quickly became the best-selling jazz artist in British history. Jamie Cullum used this popularity to build an unrivalled career, improvising house music at EDM festivals, working with Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar and Herbie Hancock, performing with Spinal Tap and collaborating with orchestras around the world.

Alongside his enduringly successful recording career, Jamie has also established himself as a multi-award-winning music presenter; his genre-spanning BBC Radio 2 show has won more than a dozen awards since its debut in 2010. The most recent and prestigious is the Gold ARIA Award, which he won for Best Music Presenter at the end of 2018. Paul McCartney, Gil-Scott Heron, Paul Simon, Cleo Laine, Clint Eastwood, Dave Brubeck, Martin Freeman, Kate Bush and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich have all been guests on his show, and fellow pianist Billy Joel joined Jamie for a Radio 2 special shortly after Cullum was invited by his hero to open for him at Madison Square Garden - eight times! With a repertoire ranging from Cole Porter to Ed Sheeran, Billie Holiday to Rihanna, or Duke Ellington to Radiohead, Cullum's performances are masterful live parties to which everyone is invited.
