When keyboardist Brook D'Leau and vocalist Brianna Cartwright (aka Jack Davey) were introduced by a mutual friend in high school in Los Angeles, they couldn’t have foreseen millions of fans being trapped inside of the J-DaVeY Nation.

In the early 2000s, during the beginning days of Myspace, the dynamic funk duo, whose music is a blend of alternative musical genres, came across the radars of some pretty heavy hitters in the industry. The two were noticed by French-born English disc jockey Gilles Petterson, and even performed for the incomparable Prince at his 3121 Club on his Los Angeles property.

With two studio albums and five extended plays, the pair have also been musically compared to an early Kelis/Neptunes style.

J*Davey also describe themselves as the “black Eurythmics”.
