Jamie Jackson & Waz are an award-winning composer duo known for creating emotionally charged, sonically immersive scores for film, television, and beyond.
Jamie, originally from Mississippi, is a classically trained pianist, vocalist, and composer with a master's degree in theater. Her background in performance and storytelling gives her compositions a deep emotional architecture. She's collaborated across genre and medium with artists including Solange Knowles, The Dandy Warhols, Jena Malone and The Chicks. Waz, a guitarist from Ohio, is known for his signature textural guitar work and melodic instinct. He began his career touring with Pete Yorn during the Music for the Morning After era and brings an instinctive, song-driven sensibility to their work.
Their scores have supported the work of esteemed showrunners in television, including Bill Lawrence, Shonda Rhimes, Mike Daniels, Dean Georgaris, Patrick Schumaker, Erin Cardillo, and Richard Keith. Most recently, they scored the hit Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey, which has received widespread acclaim, as well as the YA coming-of-age drama Motorheads on Amazon Prime.
Beyond screen work, Jamie and Waz are deeply committed to collaboration and experimental performance. They rang in the new year with a live performance in Tokyo at an art space alongside modular synth artist Nireus for an improvised voice-and-synth exploration of real-time tonal shifts — part performance, part sonic ritual.
Their individual artistry continues to expand: Jamie is currently producing a record for actress and musician Jena Malone and collaborating on neoclassical album with violinist/choreographer - Anna Christina Kennedy. She also leads Slay the Day, a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to elevating women, non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ artists across the creative industries. Waz is currently recording his latest solo record.
Rooted in neoclassical, ambient, avant-garde, and global traditions, their sound is defined by reverb-drenched vocals, prepared piano, analogue textures, organic percussion, and dissonant strings — always in service of mood, meaning, and edge.
