Jamey Blaze

Jamey Blaze, also known by his stage name Hiimwaterdragon, is an American record producer, singersongwriter and multiinstrumentalist. As a teenager, his uncle Pete Pontikoff introduced him to the metalpunk scene at Gilman, among other music scenes in the Bay Area and gave him the opportunity to do production jobs for his projects signed with Relapse Records. His independent commercial debut began January 2010 with the release of his former band Zebra Mountains album, The Band That Sucks. In 2011 Jamey would cofound a band called This Is Why I Do This. Before finishing their first full length album, they signed a seemingly non exclusive record contract with Tate Publishing amp Enterprises that same year. Their debut album, Aerophobia was released May 2012 along with a music video for Go , shot in Oklahoma City, OK. Undisclosed details would later follow the release and event series of This Is Why I Do This as a group.

Jamey Jean Blaze was born James Marshall Pattison on January 26, 1989 in Antioch, CA. His parents separated when he was five years old. During biweekly visits to his fathers apartment at age ten, he was taught electric guitar. It wasnt until a few years later that he was indirectly exposed to electronic music production through his mother, Suzanne Ferraro while she would practice bass guitar with an Alesis drum machine. She would invite Jamey to grab the microphone and improvise scat singing along with humorous storytelling while his mother would play bass to the drum machine. I started recording a few years after I started playing guitar....At first I just wanted to jot down my ideas.. It quickly became more and more dramatic. The recordings became real pieces..... Art.
