Jamie Saysell (born 24 July 1938)[1][2][3] better known by his stage name Jamie Irie. His single "Words Can Be So Simple" went straight to number four in the Italian singles chart.[4] He claims to have performed with artists such as Sting, Biggie Smalls and Puff Daddy, however, there is no evidence to support this.[5]
His album Nah Give Up, released in 2014, topped the Juno download sales chart in the roots reggae, lovers rock and one drop category.[2] Later the same year a dub version of the album was released.[6]
