Jamie
Holt, musician and songwriter
Jamie
Holt (Music Producer, Original Score) is a 32 year
old musician and songwriter who lives in Redfern,
Sydney.
Holt
studied Law at ANU for three years before dropping
out deciding to pursue a career in music. Working
as a bartender and also as an in house sound engineer,
he chose to pay his dues at the infamous Hopetoun
Hotel, a bastion of Sydney’s live music scene
over the last few decades. There he saw around 15
bands each week over a period of seven years. At the
same time he also worked as an engineer in a small
studio creating production music and working on audio
for playstation games.
During
this period he started four-piece Sydney band The
Camels, with his younger brother Tim Holt, childhood
friend Matt Smedley and buddy Dave Springer. The band
quickly garnered praise in music circles for their
fast paced and highly entertaining live show, and
developed a reputation as one of Sydney’s most
active and hardest working indie bands.
The
Camels released their debut album All You Ever Needed
in 2004 receiving critical acclaim and national airplay
for four of its’ singles. The band then spent
most of the following two years on the road, averaging
over 115 shows each year. They toured Australia’s
capital cities and regional areas, supporting bigger
acts (Grinspoon, Spiderbait, Hoodoo Gurus, Jet, Electric
Six, Cake, Dogs Die In Hot Cars); as well as headlining
several of their own extensive national tours, and
playing at the Homebake, The Great Escape and Come
Together festivals.
The
Camels spent parts of 2005 and 2006 recording several
tracks specifically for the Bra Boys documentary.
The Camels are currently working on their next release,
with “The Romance EP” due for release on
Saturday 17th March 2007. (Credit:
