Keziah Jones - The musical wave of the future

Keziah Jones. Singer. Songwriter. Musician. Creator of a unique new musical sound. Not unlike the innovators of jazz early in this century, Keziah Jones with his original mix of funk, soul and rock, is one of the musical pioneers of the next.

Plugged or unplugged, his piercing vocal and lyric style is in a category all to itself. From haunting ballads accompanied by the guitar to raw funk rock numbers, Keziah is constantly redefining the boundaries of black music.

His debut album "Blufunk is a fact" released in 1992 introduced him to the world. Three hit singles soon followed: "Rythmn is Love;" "Where is life" and "Free your soul." It paved the way for his second equally successful album, African Space Craft. Once again, he had a string of hits including "A Million Miles From Home" and "If you know." His third album is currently under production.

There is now a new and growing excitement surrounding Keziah Jones. Nowhere is this more evident than in his live performances. Anyone who has ever seen Keziah in concert will testify that it is more than a concert - it is a theatrical experience. The energy between audience and band is almost tangible. His gigs have become synonymous with a spontaneous electric groove. This groove has already been witnessed by audiences all over Europe, Japan and Australia. It is like a fever sweeping the continents at the same time racking up sales of over 3/4 million units.

A man of many talents, Keziah also writes poetry, paints and is currently producing a short film entitled "BLACKSPEEDTEXT". This film, his music and the other facets of his artistic life reflect his experiences on the streets of the world's capitals.

All coming together to create this unique and powerful sound. Truly one of the original sounds of the 21st century.
