Born and raised in Redondo Beach, California, singer/songwriter Jayme Dee caught the attention of Universal Republic after releasing a string of infectious cover songs on YouTube. Dee grew up on a steady diet of Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, and Patsy Cline, and her original material is rooted in the contemporary pop sounds of Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones, and Lily Allen, but with a retro vibe that suggests a deep connection to her early influences. In 2012 Dee landed a track, "Rules," on the Hunger Games soundtrack, with plans to release her full-length debut later in the year. ~ James Christopher Monger
