JAMIE LAWSON LIVE IN SINGAPORE
Best known for the guitar ballad, Wasn't Expecting That, British troubadour Jamie Lawson (above) was the first artist signed to British star Ed Sheeran's label, Gingerbread Man Records. Since then, he has toured with pop sensation One Direction and even actor-singer David "Baywatch" Hasselhoff has followed him on Twitter. Guess Lawson was not expecting that.
