Listen to "Tide" by Jackie Dee.

Listen to "A few worng turns" by Jackie Dee.

At just 13yrs of age Jackie joined her first band and began her early introduction to the craft of song-writing and performance. It’s been a steady walk for this vibrant Aussie alt.country artist to the independent release of her debut EP TIDE.

Growing 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 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 support such renowned artists as Rick Price, Ray Beadle, Catherine Britt & Dragon amongst others.
 
After contacting Producer Matt Fell in 2009 she began her campaign to take her music into the studio in 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. Jackie’s debut single ‘a few wrong turns’ has been selected for inclusion on the ABC Music compilation album ‘COUNTRY 4 MUM’ released 2011. Jackie second single and title track TIDE is now receiving radio airplay around the country and CMC.

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.
