Jamie Nichole Haywood is an American Singer-songwriter, and accomplished vocalist from the small south central Indiana city of Martinsville.  

Born with a burning passion and desire to sing, Haywood first emerged into the Indiana music scene in 2002 while self- teaching herself guitar and dabbling in songwriting during her college years at Ball State University  where her passion to write and play music grew stronger. With the support of talented musician friends, Haywood taught herself a simple playlist of songs and began exploring local open mic nights, and opening up shows for friends.

Jamie's musical influences range from many genres. Her favorite artists growing up included Counting Crows, Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, James Taylor, The Chicks, Faith Hill, Madonna, Whitney Houston, R.E.M., The Cranberries and so many others. Haywood worked at a record store during her high school years and luckily had the gift of musical variety at her fingertips every shift.

"We listened to all genres of music in the store, it was one of my favorite jobs I ever had. It was always hard to answer the question when asked what type of music I listened to, because it really was everything!"
