After leaving school Jamie auditoned for a small role in a Channel 4 movie entitiled "Living Apart Together" being filmed in Glasgow. After winning the part and appearing in the film he was also asked to record a song for the film's soundtrack. Jamie was whisked from Glasgow to London and recorded "When You're Young And In Love", the song he had sang in the film.
A major recording contract followed with Stiff/Island records and Jamie's official recording career began. He was back in the studio with top London producer Peter Collins (Nik Kershaw, Tracy Ullman & The Belle Stars) to record his first single "She's The One". This record brought a small amount of success and Jamie appeared on some British TV shows. Stiff Records were not about to stop there. They sent Jamie back into the studio with producer Alan Tarney (Cliff Richard & Barbra Dickson) which resulted in Jamie's second, very successful single"My Pretty One". Jamie's face was on the cover of every magazine and he was making personal appearances on all the major British and European television shows.

In 1986 Jamie's mother lost her battle with Leukemia and passed away and Jamie decided to have some time off work and moved back to Scotland for a while to be with his family.
He returned to the business a year later with a new record company "BlueBird Records" and a new dance single "Mystery Girl" which had major success around the country's nightclubs.
