    From Building Sites to Big Stages: Jamie Webster's JourneyThere's a rhythm to life in Liverpool that resonates through the streets, the people, and most of all, through the music of Jamie Webster.

Jamie's honesty about his growth, both as an artist and a person, is refreshing.

His music isn't just for Liverpool fans; it's for anyone who has ever faced a struggle, felt marginalised, or dared to dream of a better life.
