The X Why are a London-based duo comprised of producer/DJ Gan Juan and front man, Jnay.
Brought together by a chance meeting at a club in the West End of London, Jnay and Gan Juan formed The X whY to mash their love of old funk and soul, electro and hip hop into modern pop.
Their second single, "Flight in Sight", is out on November 16th and you’ll be able to catch their live show on select nights for the rest of the year.
A Few Reviews
Tom Robinson in The Panel/Music Week: "Down2YourLow jumped out of the speakers as a welcome burst of energy - Tight, sharp, sassy electro fun - Tiga and Fischerspooner sound anaemic by comparison"
Altsounds (live review): "...The soulful influence brings a powerful groove, and frontman flowing leadership and singing skills, combined with the superbly funky riffs, certainly makes The X Why stand out from the crowd..."
Xstream East (Live review): "... Great material including Beautiful, with its heavy backbeats, brassy synths and Motown harmonies, and Feel it, in the old school soul style which touches Sly & the Family Stone ... Watch out for these guys!"
Daily Music Guide: The X whY is "...for those with square diamond ear appendages, who look beyond fly-posted roundabouts, streetlights and electricity boxes for marathonic nights out"
