LAW OF NUMBERS - the moniker for Melbourne songwriters and producers Jem Carp and Dan Karni was formed in 2008.

The duo wrote, produced and recorded their debut EP, Shadows with singer Emilie Gassin (France) in 2009. What started out as a home studio musical experiment has now achieved international recognition and exposure with their debut single “Superstar” and second single "7 Seconds" both featured in episodes of the Bruckheimer-produced CBS TV drama Miami Medical.

Their music video clip for “Superstar” has been played on ABC’s RAGE, Foxtel’s Music Max, with a remix reaching 4 on the KISS FM chart and remained in the top 10 most downloaded tracks on Dance Music Hub for a month. The single was also globally selected for Apple iPhone’s first DJ application, Touch DJ.

DAN KARNI cut his teeth in the Melbourne music scene culminating in him winning “Triple J Unearthed” in 2004 (Second Dan). He played festivals such as Livid and Homebake and supported the likes of Alex Lloyd and The Superjesus.

JEM CARP began writing songs at an early age and learnt guitar to bring those songs to life. He met Dan Karni at primary school and have since collaborated on many tracks. Shadows is his second EP release, having previously written all the tracks on an EP he recorded with Melbourne artist, Husky.

Together they have written and produced a catalogue of tracks and are currently collaborating with artists in Australia (Kim Cooper – Australian Idol finalist, Candice Alley – ARIA nominee) and the U.S (Katie Marino – toured with Jessica Simpson / Rascal Flatts) for releases in 2010. They signed a worldwide non-exclusive licensing deal with Firewire Music in the US in April and brought in talented Dutch LA-based songwriter/producer Femke into the fold. The inclusion of Femke now means that the pair also have a satellite studio in L.A.

SONGWRITING & PRODUCTION STYLE

Law of Numbers production style is wide and varied from stripped down acoustic arrangements to danceable, synth laden pop sounds that blend musical styles such as rock, reggae and RnB. Their songs share a common thread of soaring melodies and honest impassioned lyrics with emphatic heartfelt choruses.

Their original sound can be heard in their EP release Shadows which “mixes adroitly disparate elements of pop (Superstar), rock (I’ll See You There) and folk (Inside In Inside Out), with a cover of The Strokes’ Trying Your Luck that simply must be heard to be believed” Lure Dec ‘09
