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] Undisclosed details would later follow the release and event series of This Is Why I Do This as a group.

Currently he is the drummer for his main project, Vantana Row with his long-time friend Volly Terry.[9][10] 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.[11][12]

Early life

Jamey Jean Blaze was born James Marshall Pattison on January 26, 1989 in Antioch, CA.[11] 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."[11]
