Jackie Dee is no stranger to the music scene having joined her first band at age 13 she had an early introduction to the craft of song-writing and performance. It’s been a steady walk for this vibrant Aussie artist to the independent release of her debut EP Tide.

Having grown up in the ‘Shire’ in Sydney’s south, Jackie now enjoys life in the picturesque surrounds of the Northern Illawarra, a factor she contributes to her creative inspiration. With many years experience in live performing and over a decade of song-writing behind her Jackie entered an Illawarra song competition back in 2008, Colin Buchanan judged the performance of her song A Few Wrong Turns the overall competition winner. This recognition inspired Jackie to enter the Telstra Road to Tamworth competition in 2008 where she was successfully chosen as one of the fourteen heat finalists for the entire Sydney region. Jackie has since gone on to play support for the likes of Rick Price, Ray Beadle, Catherine Britt and Dragon amongst others.
 
After contacting Producer Matt Fell in 2009 she began her campaign to take her music into the studio in April 2010 and as an independent artist, produce something special. Tide is Aussie alt-Country at its best taking the listener on a journey that promises to be insightful and entertaining. This artist is real, personal and philosophical by nature. Her voice is sweet yet strong and her songs will move you. As Matt Fell describes “With Jackie, the songs and her are the same”. A hard working and determined artist Tide is clearly just the beginning for this emerging new talent.

Jackie’s debut single A Few Wrong Turns was selected for inclusion on the ABC Music compilation album Country 4 Mum released April 2011.

“Thanks Jackie, It was great meeting you too and hearing your performance. I listened to your album all the way home and it sounded great. Your song-writing and singing are wonderful and Matt did a great job of the production. You should be very proud of it. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you again sometime soon. Maybe Nashville hey! All the best." - Rick Price.
