Jamie Hins doesn't really like giving interviews. He prefers to perform in public in a duet with Alison Mosshart.
Start
The future English musician was born in the family of a manager on December 24, 1968 in Buckinghamshire. Not the capital, and far from it, of course, but Britain is small, by our standards, there is a stone's throw everywhere. At fourteen, Jamie secretly from his parents went to London for a concert by the rock band The Fall. After that, there was a dream to become a musician. Parents wanted his son to choose a more reliable profession, but they did not mind his music lessons. After graduating from school, Jamie went to university in London. However, the attraction of music was so great that Jamie began performing in the group Fiji. Jamie Hins continued his musical career in the early 1980s as a guitarist for the rock band Blyth. He joined Scarfo in 1994 with two of his college friends. Now he has matured. Jamie Hins (photo in the article) is completely different than in his youth.
Acquaintance
Once, in 1999, at a hotel, Jamie Hins rehearsed in his room. During this time, he worked at Scarfo and Blyth Power. He was heard by the American rock singer Mosshart, who lives on the floor below, who was touring in Europe. They got into a conversation, found out that they were reading the same thing (Dostoevsky, Gunter Grass), and decided to maintain working relations. They exchanged songs, ideas. But their real meeting and collaboration at The Kills took place when both groups split up. Alison moved from Florida to London, and in 2000 they began working together.
The kills
The name of the group was chosen for a very long time. Over the course of a day, they both scribbled mountains of paper until they chose The Kills. She and Alison are in no hurry to explain the name of the duo. But itβs quite telling: the guitar parts are hard, the vocals are abrupt and powerful, the drum machine is rhythmic. Of course, this is all for everybody. But this couple, an American and a British, thought everything through to the finer points, knowing how to play on the nerves of the hall. To captivate the listeners to madness is their task, which the duo copes with.
New heights
They decided to start from scratch, and not do what they did in their groups. Both took pseudonyms. They first performed together in a London nightclub in 2002. In the same year, they released the mini album Black Rooster. Jamie Hins plays the guitar, and Alison sings her cryptic lyrics in a hoarse voice. In 2003, their first album was released. The press begins to pay attention to them. They, full of mystery, invite representatives of the media to their private speeches, they are mostly silent. Alison smokes, and Jamie plays his parts on the guitar. In 2005, they released their next album. The single from this album took 23rd place in the British charts. They achieved this good result by work and effort.
In 2008, the duo released their third album, Middnight Boom, after which they received very favorable reviews from critics. Songs from this album began to be used in TV shows, and in television programs, and in advertising. After that, in all
English-speaking countries, the duo became extremely popular. In 2011, the fourth album was released, a song from which was included in the series βThe Vampire Diariesβ. This couple has big creative plans: they are working on a new album. And they also want to release a book of their photographs and tour sketches.
Meet the supermodel
For the first time, Kate Moss saw Jamie Hins on the Internet. There were also common friends who introduced them in 2007. The paparazzi very quickly found them on the streets of London and began to predict a quick breakup. Kate Moss and Jamie Hins were already established personalities. Everyone in the past had both negative and positive experiences. Perhaps that is why they did not run away right away, but looked closely at each other.
Kate Moss was experiencing at this time a difficult period associated with cocaine scandals and exclusion from the fashion world. In addition, Kate had two tumultuous novels. One with Johnny Depp and the second with
Pete Doherty. Both passions ended extremely unsuccessfully. After them, Kate tried to restore her good name. And Jamie to a large extent contributed to this. He himself went through drugs and sex in his youth. Only rock and roll was unchanged. And with age, Jamie began to monitor his health. Kate did not quit smoking next to Jamie, but she looked happy. However, the first serious quarrel between the lovers occurred when it was not even a year after they met. Kate abruptly packed her things and broke up with Jamie. But after a couple of weeks they were together again and walked peacefully together. Then there was a breakup due to the behavior of the musician, but Kate forgave him a frivolous treason. In 2011, they engaged in an engagement, and then a wedding, to which Jamie bought two old rings worth Β£ 10,000 during his vacation in Amsterdam.
Wedding
The wedding took place on July 1, 2011. The bride was in an amazing dress, created by John Galliano, the groom - in an elegant blue suit.
They were married in London at St Paulβs Cathedral. Then they rode around the capital on the Rolls-Royces. The celebration was celebrated for three days. Of course, Kate Moss's daughter Lily Grace was also present at the wedding. The price of such a wedding is four million dollars.
Until now, this couple is similar to the newlyweds. They walk together, go to nightclubs and relax. There are no common children yet, but the spouses look very happy.
