Jamie Norton is a British musician and songwriter performing under the moniker of Fougère since 2020. He has written songs with Take That including the 2009 hit Hold Up a Light.[1]

In April 2019, Norton and Take That's Mark Owen released a stripped-back version of Hold Up a Light in aid of the Salisbury Hospice Charity. The reworked single was a fundraising tribute to the hospice that had cared for Norton's mother the previous April and featured pupils from Grasmere Primary in North London including Norton's sons Ned and Miller.[2]

In October 2020, Norton made his debut release under the moniker of Fougère with the single Movement, followed by a remix from Hot Chip's Joe Goddard in November.[3] The second single Descent was released in January 2021,[4] followed by the debut album Still Life in May 2021.[5]
