Jamey Blaze, also known by his stage name Hiimwaterdragon, is an American record producer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. As a teenager, his uncle Pete Pontikoff (vocalist of Benümb) introduced him to the metal/punk 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.[2][3][4][5][6] His independent commercial debut began January 2010 with the release of his former band Zebra Mountain's album, The Band That Sucks. In 2011 Jamey would co-found 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 & Enterprises that same year. Their debut album, Aerophobia was released May 2012 along with a music video for "Go" , shot in Oklahoma City, OK.[7][8]
He is currently the drummer for Vantana Row with his long-time friend and wife, Volly.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Other than Vantana Row, Jamey is promoting his side project The World Famous Pool Boyz (TWFPBZ) as lead guitarist and co-vocalist. There are rumors of the band's relationship with Empire Distribution, though nothing has yet to surface on the internet so far to affirm it.[16][17]
Vantana Row
Vantana Row is a musical duo, formed in 2015 by Jamey and Volly Blaze in Alameda, California. They are mentioned in SF Weekly and other blogs for their gimmicky 'drive by' performances,[18][19] living in their van,[9] their YouTube sitcom and using their fan's lyrics in their #iwriteforvantanarow program.[20][11][21][22]
Early life
Jamey Jean Blaze was born James Marshall Pattison on January 26, 1989 in Antioch, CA.[23] The separation of his parents at the age of five led to bi-weekly visits to his father's apartment by age ten, where he was regularly taught electric guitar. It wasn't until a few years later that he was reacquainted to electronic music production through his mother's Alesis SR-16 drum machine. Originally his mother would offer eight-year old Jamey a microphone during her bass rehearsals with the drum machine. He eventually grew accustomed to scat singing and comedic storytelling whenever invited to her drum loop rehearsal sessions. "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."[23]
