To close out 2021, she wrote the theme song “Little Christmas Miracles,” for a new Off Broadway Christmas play, of the same name. She penned the song by herself, especially for this play, which was her off Broadway debut as both a songwriter and a performer at The Actors Temple Theater in New York (she closed the show on opening night).
New releases coming in 2022 include “The Blade,” co-written by Jamie and recorded by the legendary Ronnie Dunn for his new album “100 Proof Neon,” due July 29. Jamie also co-wrote 4 songs for the new Ty Herndon album “JACOB,” also due in July. One of the tunes is a duet Floyd sings with Herndon, and she co-wrote the debut single from the album, “Till You Get There,” which impacted country radio in May.
The recent single from Kelly Clarkson & Jake Hoot (Winner of The Voice Season 17), a duet called “I Would’ve Loved You,” was co-written by Floyd, Hoot and Dean Sams of Lonestar. The song has amassed more than 12 million views and 5 million streams. Kelly and Jake are releasing a new version of the song in the fall of 2022. She also has songs included on the newest albums by Wrabel (Nettwerk/Big Gay Records), Cassadee Pope, Kalie Shorr(TMWRK) and several songs on the new Madi Diaz album “History Of A Feeling” (ANTI).
Jamie has written extensively for film and television, including writing and performing “Oh Darlin,'" the only original song featured in Theresa Rebeck’s Glimpse, a new thriller shot entirely on an iPhone in 2020. The film made its debut in May of 2022 and features an all-star cast including Michael Emerson, Alysia Reiner, Raul Esparza and Janet McTeer. She also wrote and recorded “Let it Shine,” which closes out the final scene of the new movie Dakota, released in April 2022. Her other credits include writing the finale for Dolly Parton’s A Country Christmas Story and writing and performing the entire 12 song soundtrack for Burt Reynolds’ award winning final film The Last Movie Star. She also appeared in the critically acclaimed documentary The Last Songwriter alongside Garth Brooks and Jason Isbell.
As a composer & lyricist, Jamie has written all the original music, 25 songs, for an upcoming new broadway musical in development, “The King’s Wife.” The musical recently had its first 29 hour reading with the prestigious Playwrights Horizons in NYC. The piece is being co-produced by Jennifer Kranz, Rosalind Productions (The Prom, The Band’s Visit), written by playwright Mêlisa Annis and directed by Tamilla Woodward (Hadestown).
As a touring artist, Floyd has toured nationally, including playing Stagecoach and headlining at The Washington State Fair with her band. After the independent release of her EP “New Girl,” debuted at #6 on the iTunes Country Album charts, Jamie made her Grand Ole Opry debut, opening for Metallica & Three Days Grace. The show aired in 300 cities/drive-ins across the United States and Canada as part of the Encore Drive In Nights concert series. She was awarded 2021’s “Rising Star Award” by the Concert For Love & Acceptance, a televised charitable event organized by Ty Herndon’s Foundation for Love & Acceptance and CMT.
She plans to tour extensively for the remainder of 2022 and will release new music in early 2023.
