Jamie Teachenor is an American singer, songwriter, musician and producer. In 2012, he released his debut album, The Departure. His sophomore project, Waiting Room, was released in 2013 and in 2014, he released "Lo-Fidelity" under the band name, Lo-Fi. His television appearances include ABC's Good Morning America and The CBS Early Show. His songs have been recorded by many major Country music artists. Teachenor started very early in music, fronting many bands in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. By the age of seventeen, he was receiving regular regional airplay, and the day before his 21st birthday, he moved to Nashville to further pursue his musical dreams.
Jamie Teachenor was born in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. He was raised in Fagus, Missouri, and is the son of Rockabilly Hall of Famer, Jim Teachenor.
Teachenor began singing publicly at 3 years old with his family at Fagus General Baptist Church, and at 7, he started playing the piano there. When Teachenor was 9, he played his first paying gig at a bar in Hayti, Missouri, called the "Idol Hour." At the age of 13, he played a number of shows with a Gospel vocal group he formed called, "The Young Sounds Of Faith." He continued to front various bands throughout his early teens.
He attended school at Twin Rivers School District in Qulin and Broseley, Missouri. After graduating high school, he moved with his father to the small neighboring town of Pollard, Arkansas. He continued to reside there throughout his college years until ultimately moving to Nashville, Tennessee.
At 17 years old, Jamie Teachenor walked into Hays Music Store in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and was encouraged by employee, John DeRosa, to enter the Butler County Fair Talent Show. Reluctant at first, he decided the day before the contest to enter, because the grand prize was the opportunity to record a song and have it played on the radio. After Wednesday night's show, Teachenor finished on top and would return on Saturday for the finals and go on to win first place at the Fair.
