Jamie started his career as a member of a Hip-Hop Urban Dance Troop called the Orlando Palladium Dancers, which performed at various shows around the Central Florida area. He caught the attention, along with a few other members of troop, of Jermaine Stewart show and was asked to come dance for him while doing his Eastern Club tour. From there, Jamie decided to pursue his first love, music.

Jamie credits local artists such as: Levon and Randy "Cat" Jackson of Pritti Boi, Derrick "Hot Soss" Cummings, Nicole "Nikki" Williams, Fred and Brian McKnight, and his father Maestro De Bomba Angel Luis Reyes Romero of Hijos De Agueybana, on how to create, write, and perform music.

He cut his first demo, 'Satisfaction Guaranteed," but deemed it "a joke" and "Harsh Reality" in terms of being behind the curve when it came to doing original music. "It seemed like there was no more heart, soul, love, to get a message across when everybody just wants to listen to garbage all the time."

Jamie decided to take a different approach and learn from influences such as: Prince, George Clinton, Cameo, Tower of Power, Confunkshion, The Time. "To become your own person is not to imitate or duplicate what has already been done but to take the road less traveled upon and create your own destiny."

What will his "Destiny" lead him to? Let us stay tuned and watch.
