More about Jamie Woon

After Mirrorwriting (2011) and Making Time (2015), Jamie Woon stepped away from releasing his own music, though he kept working with other artists including Elmiene, Lil Silva and co-producing the solo debut Unsung by Holly Walker.

The songs that became 3, 10, Why, When started through working with producer Martin Terefe, someone Jamie had been introduced to outside of the music world. “He’s very humble despite working on huge smash hits with artists from all over the world,” Jamie says. “He saw what I was struggling with and hung in there with me. He sort of tricked me into making an album – we made one song, then another, then when we had ten we just said that’s the album.”

The album moves between R&B, electronics, and pop forms with a unique impressionistic twist. It flows with disquieting ease from strange, spiky percussion to lush strings, spooking you out with repeated motifs of being alone with thoughts at 3am, even as it taps into deep senses of love and belonging.

3, 10, Why, When comes out on Jamie’s own label, Also Can – named after a Malaysian English construction meaning “that works too.” “I’m curious to see if I can build something that doesn’t kill my creative flow,” he says, “and see if that can be something I can offer to others eventually.”

3, 10, Why, When is released 03.10.25 through Also Can. In association with Wasserman
