Fifteen-year-old Nicolas knows showbiz. He's been an entertainer since the age of
2 and is currently learning how to play the piano. Maybe we can see this young lad belt out a Jamie Cullum tune or two sometime. For now, check out his ubercool official site and the photos he sent along. So, without out further ado....here's Nicolas!
[FYI - He's the one with his two thumbs up!]
1. HOW DID YOU FIRST HEAR ABOUT JAMIE?
I heard him on MTV in America, and since I am a jazz buff, I was very excited to buy the album. So, I made the grandmother buy me his CD.
Funny story: when I first heard him, I wasn't impressed. In fact, I didn't really like it (20something). So I put it away. About 3 months later, I was cleaning my room and found the CD, so I listened to it, and this time, I liked it! I thought it was so cool, and now, well, I have almost all of his albums. I think he is fantastic...
2. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE JAMIE COVER?
Well, I probably would have to say..."Lover, You Should Have Come Over", "What Kind of Fool Am I?", "Frontin", (tell me when to stop...) "It Ain't Neccesarily So" & "Wind Cries Mary". I like them all...
3. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE JAMIE ORIGINAL TUNE?
Now, that's a hard one...I'll list 3: "21st Century Kid" - Just a really great message set to a really great melody, "Mind Trick" - an all around fun song, "Back to the Ground" - what a great funky song...
Catching Tales. I love every song on that album, there isn't one that I don't like...
5. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM PERFORM LIVE? WHEN? WHERE? ANY MEMORABLE MOMENTS? [IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN JAMIE LIVE YET, WHEN WILL YOU?]
I've seen him live only twice, but I hope I see him more. I saw him first at Foxwoods Casino in CT in July. A friend of mine got us front row center tickets, and it was phenomenal! When Jamie stood center stage, we could touch his shoes, that's how close...The second time I saw him was a month ago in New Haven, CT. I didn't have 1st row, but I had 2nd which was just as good. Of course a memorable moment was him calling everyone on stage. Last time, I missed my chance, but this time, I made sure I was in front. A friend of mine was determined to touch his hair, and she did...awesome.
6. CREATE THE PERFECT JAMIE SETLIST. [10 SONGS MAX.]
- Get Your Way
- You & The Night & Music
- Wind Cries Mary
- Lover, You Should Have Come Over

7. HAVE YOU MET JAMIE BEFORE?
No, I haven't. I would love to though...
8. WHY DO YOU LIKE JAMIE, THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC.
I think he's great because he's not afraid to try new things. He has such a wide variety of taste for a 27 year old, and I think that's fabulous. Good for him, and for us.
9. ANY ADVICE OR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR OUR DEAR, LITTLE JAMMY.
Keep on making music, and enjoy it while you're doing it, that's all that's important...
10. IF YOU WERE STUCK ON A DESERTED ISLAND WITH JAMIE [KEEP DREAMING] AND YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED THREE [3] ITEMS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
Hmmmmm... Definitely a Piano... Beer... & a tape recorder that never ran out of batteries, so we could tape all the music made...
