Jamie Jackson & Waz are an award-winning composer duo known for creating emotionally charged, sonically immersive scores for film and television.
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. 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.
Jamie and Waz have collaborated with some of television’s most respected creators and is currently scoring a slate of acclaimed projects, including Scrubs for ABC, Bad Monkey for Apple TV+, and The Rockford Files for NBC.
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 recently produced an album for actress and musician Jena Malone. 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.
