Graffiti6
Graffiti6 is a pop/rock duo founded in London in 2008. The duo is made up of Jamie Scott (lead vocals) and Tommy “D” Danvers (producer and songwriter).Graffiti6 are known for their “Gnarls Barkley-esque blend of characterful voice and crisp, intricate groove created from an infectious alliance of electric piano and offbeat guitar”. Releasing their materials on their own NWFree Music label, they were signed to Capitol Records in April 2011, and
their debut studio album Colours already on NWFree Music is being released internationally in June 2012.
Jamie Scott and Tommy D started collaborating in 2008 and began making music together in 2009 under the name Graffiti6. Initially, Scott was considering working with a producer to repackage a solo album,when an A&R executive at Polydor suggested he meet Danvers. Scott introduced Danvers to “an idea...for a folk thing”, which would later become the track “Stare Into the Sun”, their first collaboration. It was submitted to The Sun newspaper and was chosen as the soundtrack for a TV ad campaign for the newspaper.
The duo released their debut album Colours on their own NWFree Music label in the U.K. in October 2010. After signing to Capitol Records in the USA in April 2011, a version is being released in June 2012.

Their songs have already been used on such shows as Grey’s Anatomy, Covert Affairs, CSI: NY, One Tree Hill, VH1’s Basketball Wives, VH1’s Football Wives, Suits, Free Agents, The Secret Circle, FIFA 12. They were nominated the week of November 1, 2010, for mtvU’s The Freshman title. They have been made MTV’s Push Artists and Ones to Watch in 2011 by MTV and The New York Post.
