Jonboy (John Lennie) & JD (Jez Davies) are a production and songwriting team. We met about five years ago and have been creating music of all kinds since then. Jez is a professional keyboard/piano player, regularly gigging with various bands all over the UK and beyond, and John spends most of his time working on our original music, and listening to what's hot in the charts, along with a good dose of classic albums by the likes of Dr Dre, Michael Jackson and R Kelly (to name a few). We've always had a huge desire to create our own music, and countless hours have been spent with John on the mic and Jez on the keys coming up with loads of new ideas! John's natural feeling for rhythm and production are complemented by Jez's raw musical creativity and technical knowledge, and this combination allows us to create our own energetic and engaging sound. John enjoys singing, although we like to work with other artists on our tracks too, and help them bring the best of their performing talents to the track.
