He began playing guitar in primary school at age 9, writing songs at age 13 and was playing in bands around his hometown when he was 15.
He moved to Alice Springs when he was 16 and was playing at tourist resorts at age 17.
In 1995 he moved back to Tasmania before his 18th birthday and landed a residency at a local resort for two and half years. In that time, he teamed up with singer, guitarist/producer Dave Whitney and together they produced two solo country inspired E.p’s titled “Jamie Lindsay” and “Further down the Track”. During this time, he also had classical singing lessons from Sharon Murray to develop his voice.
