 Huntenpop  2013
Mix great songwriting, incredible guitar play, a warm 
soulful voice and an irresistible live performance and 
you’ll get Jaimi Faulkner, a young multi-talented 
Australian who won’t stay unnoticed for long. With just 
his guitar, a stompbox and his voice, he throws different 
musical styles into a blender and creates a style that is 
uniquely his own.

As a kid Jaimi was brought up on a diet rich in Blues, 
Country, Soul and Folk music and learned to play the 
slide guitar by listening to tapes of Muddy Waters and 
other blues musicians with his next-door neighbor (a 
famous Australian slide guitar player) when he was just 
10 years old. In his teens, Jaimi started to write his own 
songs and combined his interest in pop music with the 
influences from his childhood.

At the age of 21 he released his first cd ‘Last Light’ 
which debuted at No. 5 on the Australian Rhythms 
Magazine Charts where it held its position for four 
months. Music agents in Australia noticed his talent and 
gave him supports with well-known artists, amongst 
them the late Chris Whitley in 2005.
