Jamie Cullum (born August 20, 1979) is an English lounge jazz pianist and singer. Cullum was born in Essex. His mother, Yvonne, is a Burmese secretary whose family settled in Wales after Burma’s de-colonization; his father, John Cullum, worked in finance. His paternal grandfather was a British Army officer, while his paternal grandmother, Omi, was a Jewish refugee from Prussia who sang in Berlin nightclubs; Cullum sees her as his “cultural icon”.[1][2] He was raised in Hullavington, Wiltshire.

Cullum released his first album, Jamie Cullum Trio—Heard it All Before, in 1999. A mere 600 copies were made. Original copies have sold for as much as £600 (and above) on eBay. The success of Heard It All Before resulted in Jamie being invited to appear on Geoff Gascoyne’s album Songs of the Summer. After graduating from the University of Reading in 2001, Cullum—who is completely self-taught, bar a few piano lessons as a youngster—released a best-selling album, Pointless Nostalgic, which stirred interest from Michael Parkinson. Following that, in April 2003 he signed a contract with Universal, for three albums, who beat Sony in a bidding war for the prodigy.

Cullum then started recording his second album, Twentysomething, which was released in October 2003. It went platinum and became the #1 selling studio album by a jazz artist in the United Kingdom. Cullum’s breakout hit in the United States was “All At Sea” closely followed by a reworking of Radiohead’s “High and Dry”.

Is there anzbodz who hate Jamie Cullum. Pointless Nostalgic is a good title for his album. Itąs truly pointless:P
