IF JAMIE Cullum hadn't found fame as a jazz musician, he could easily have gone into the celebrity lookalike business.
For as well as being one of the hottest young talents on the live music circuit, singer-pianist Jamie bears an uncanny resemblance to Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio.
You can check out the resemblance for yourself on Wednesday when the 23-year-old takes centre stage at the Concorde Club, Eastleigh.
Signed by leading British jazz label Candid just a week after record boss Alan Bates first heard him play, Jamie's career rise has been nothing short of meteoric.
His debut album
Pointless Nostalgic made it into The Times' top ten records of the year and self-composed songs such as Who Wants To Be a Pop Star and the album title track have garnered airplay across the UK and Europe.
Memorably described by one newspaper as "Sinatra in sneakers", Jamie has been likened to a host of musical greats, including his role model, Harry Connick Jr.
