J*DaVeY is female vocalist Briana Cartwright (who performs under the name Jack Davey) and male producer Brook D'Leau. Yes! Jack is a girl and Brooke is a boy. The music is a mix of neo-soul, electro-fuck, alternative hip-hop, and jazz. Their sound is quite unique.
J*DaVeY independently dropped the double-disc The Beauty In Distortion / The Land Of The Lost on Interdependent Media back in 2008. However, they are currently signed a major-deal with a division of Warner Brothers Records.
On the The Beauty disc "Private Parts" and "No More" are so unabashedly Prince they make me blush. "Camera (Gangsta)" is fearless but check out "Mr. Mister (The Future Screw Mix) nothing like electronica screwed.
The Land holds its own with the sexy "Rock The Dancehall" with Kardinal Offishall, "Just Because" featuring Phonte from Little Brother and a live 2006 performance of "No More" at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica.
J*DaVeY is the future of electro-funk and soul. They are a cross between Erykah Badu and Prince. Definitely be on the listen.
