Jai

Biography

Self-described as “a mod for the hip-hop generation,” Jai was raised within the same United kingdom village as PJ Harvey and played out within a trio whose various other two members later on formed her initial backing band. Blessed Jason Rowe in Yeovil, Britain, he was motivated by a selection of musical resources both contemporary (Kraftwerk, Massive Strike, Public Foe) and traditional (Marvin Gaye, Burt Bacharach). Rowe started using a pop music group, however when his mates still left him to try out with PJ Harvey, he transferred to London and fulfilled up with guitarist/manufacturer Joel Bogen while at a membership. The duo started working together, merging Jai’s aching falsetto with Bogen’s organizing abilities, inherited from rock and roll & roll resources in addition to traditional pop, spirit and jazz. After assembling a three-track demonstration tape — including a edition of Gershwin’s “Summertime” — Jai agreed upon to the tiny British isles label M&G and released his debut one “Don’t Provide Me Away” in January 1997. The one do well in Britain along with the continent, and many impressive concert events (with a complete band) improved Jai’s image being a cocktail pop vocalist for the 1990s. He agreed upon to RCA, and released his debut record Heaven past due in 1997.
