Jamie Wallop

The newest and hottest sensation on the Delmarva is Ms. Jamie Wallop. The buzz is going around that she is a combination of Beyonce Knowles and Alicia Keys. She describes herself as a performer, singer and songwriter. "No matter what I do, I will have honest music," says Wallop.

Jamie Wallop started singing at the age of 8, and she started playing the piano at the age of 13. After enrolling in a local Performing Arts Theater, she continued to grow and develop into a well-known and respected singer throughout the Delmarva. She has headlined concerts at the Delmarva Convention Center, Salisbury University and in Ocean City, MD. She has also performed at the Washington, DC Convention Center and the internationally-known Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Wallop credits her mother and father for giving her an excellent foundation for the highly competitive music industry. Her management team, Ndafam, is headed by her manager, Kathy Wallop, and consist of mostly family members. "I’m fortunate to have a family that supports me. I have a mom-manager," states Wallop.

Besides spending hours in the studio, Ms. Wallop’s other interests include shopping, traveling and spending quality time with her family and friends.

Her musical influences include soul music legends Patti Labelle, Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Neo-soul’s Jill Scott and Angie Stone also inspire her. "I truly appreciate originality. Music with meaning is very important to me," says Wallop. She is also emphatic about not having her image reshaped. Wallop states, "Money can’t buy me!"

In February of 2003, Ms. Wallop released her first original 12 track CD entitled, "Quite Like You" that showcased her vocal talent and songwriting skills.
