Jamie the King x Kabin Crew 'Life in a Wheelchair' is OUT NOW
“Life in a Wheelchair” by Jamie the King and Kabin Crew is a powerful anthem of pride, resilience, and flair from the perspective of a teenager navigating the world on wheels.
Fresh off Jamie the King’s leading role in the critically acclaimed Irish film Christy, which recently won the International Jury Grand Prix at the Berlin Film Festival, this anthem is already making waves - especially after Jamie's standout performance on Britain’s Got Talent, where he earned a spot through to the next round and a standing ovation from the judges.
“Jamie is a force of nature and a once-in-a-lifetime talent. He plays a leading role in my upcoming feature and absolutely steals the show. He has such a strong voice, and boy, can he use it. What an inspiration.” - Brendan Canty, Director of “Christy” describing Jamie in his upcoming film out later this year.
"People get in my way when I’m trying to get through / What’s the story, stop skipping the queue" – the opening line sets the tone for a no-nonsense commentary on the everyday barriers he faces, but this is no sob story. Jamie blends sharp social insight with wit, flipping the narrative on disability and turning the spotlight on his talent.
“Jamie’s a legend. He’s no stranger to the big screen either, having been in The Young Offenders. We’re so proud of him. He’s the King!” says Garry McCarthy, Producer, Creative Director of the Kabin Studio, a Cork-based youth music collective known for supporting young artists and unheard voices. “This song is Jamie through and through - real and unapologetically proud.”
The 19 year old wrote the track with production from Garry McCarthy a.k.a GMCBeats, Seán Murphy a.k.a Spekulativ Fiktion, and Alex Pacino Brady.
Watch this space. Jamie the King is rolling through, and he’s not slowing down. “Me and my wheels are here to stay.”
