Earl 16

Daley grew up in Waltham Park Road, Kingston, and, influenced by American soul and Jamaican artists such as Dennis Brown, began his singing career by entering local talent shows. He became the lead vocalist for the group The Flaming Phonics, playing live around Jamaica. Daley decided to drop out of school to pursue his music career, which prompted his mother to throw him out of the family home. Needing to make some money, the group tried out for producer Duke Reid, but left before finishing their recording for him due to his habit of firing live gunshots in the studio.

J*Davey

With a diverse array of influences, eclectic twosome J*Davey -- female vocalist Jack Davey (b. Brianna Cartwright) and producer Brook D'Leau -- deliberately evade the narrow categories of what urban music should sound like, not to mention that they defy normal conventions of pop music. Drawing equally from neo-soul, new wave, funk, and hip-hop, their melting pot of electronic soul and dance have made music-goers try to classify them somewhere between neo-soulstress Erykah Badu and new wave punks Talking Heads.

Dj Flipflop

DJ FlipFlop is a Portland Oregon native. His music style is influenced by Funk and Soul, taking samples and beats from as early as the 50's straight into the 70's and right out of the 90's. The gateway drug to DJ FlipFlop would be "Tuxedo Rap." Then move up to a little more stratch and samples with "Get Deleted." Both are stong examples of FlipFlop's expanding talent. Head to his myspace to listen to them all. Then get hooked and join the masses.
