J*DaVeY is a multi-genre duo from Los Angeles, CA whose sound can be described as a combination of alternative hip hop, alternative rock, soul, electronica, fusion, jazz, punk, funk, new wave [ [http://losangeles.metromix.com/music/article/sonic-boom/324480/content Metromix] Sonic Boom] and R&B futurists [ [http://www.xlr8r.com/features/2008/08/j-davey-talks-l-style XLR8R Magazine] J*Davey Talks L.A. Style] . The group was formed by female vocalist Briana Cartwright (who performs under the name Jack Davey) and male producer Brook D'Leau [http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/10/arts/music/10dave.html?_r=1&oref=slogin The New York Times] At the Intersection of Styles, Taking Some Songs for a Ride] when they were introduced by a mutual friend in high school.

Background

Jack Davey was exposed to classic jazz and hints of late seventies jazz fusion before being introduced to eighties R&B and the new sound of hip-hop music. By the time she relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 8, she landed a spot in an all-girl singing group that signed to MCA Records. The group never ended up releasing any material.

Brook D'Leau was surrounded by new wave and pop-rock sounds by the way of Prince, Radiohead, Talking Heads and The Police. Brook began to create interestingly medloic instrumental tracks in his father's home studio after school and on the weekends for fun.

Today the duo is being heralded as a cross between Erykah Badu, Prince and Radiohead with traces of funk. J*Davey has had music licensed for episodes of the television drama """ and the Snoop Dogg film "Bossin' Up." J*Davey's songs have been played on various radio stations in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, as well as overseas by way of Gilles Peterson, Benji B, and Berry King. ?uestlove (The Roots), Steven Spacek, and Prince have seen the duo perform in sold-out venues such as the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA and the Temple Bar in Santa Monica, CA. Prince invited them to open for him at his 3121 Club. [ [http://www.filter-mag.com/index.php?id=15133&c=2 Filter Magazine] Getting to Know - J*DaVeY]
