J *Davey (stylized as ''J *DaVeY'') is an American music duo from Los Angeles, CA. The group consists of female vocalist Jack Davey (real name Briana Cartwright) and male keyboardist/producer Brook D'Leau.〔(The New York Times ) At the Intersection of Styles, Taking Some Songs for a Ride〕 The group had formed after being introduced by a mutual friend in high school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pinboardblog.com/2008/07/pinboard-exclusive-jdavey-interview/ )〕 ==Background== Growing up in St. Louis, Cartwright was exposed to classic jazz and hints of late seventies jazz fusion before being introduced to the sound of the eighties with R&B and hip-hop. By the time she relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 8, Cartwright landed a spot in an all-girl singing group that signed to MCA Records. The group never released any material. D'Leau was surrounded by new wave and pop rock sounds by the way of Prince, Radiohead, Talking Heads and The Police. And at an early age, D'Leau began to create interestingly melodic instrumental tracks in his father's home studio after school and on the weekends for fun. Many have compared the duo's make-up/relationship of artist and producer to Kelis and The Neptunes' electronic funk sound.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thisisrealmusic.com/articles/61211/JDavey-New_Designer_Drug.php )〕 The group signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records in 2007. Through the label, J *DaVeY released a compilation album of 2 EPs named ''The Beauty In Distortion/Land Of The Lost''. Soon after, the duo left Warner over a dispute concerning the label's demand to split the group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.plugonemag.com/2008/06/12/interdependent-media-emerges-with-tanya-morgan-jdavey )〕 Shortly after, the duo self-released two EPs: ''Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes (Part 1)'' (December 2009) and ''Evil Christian Cop: The Great Mistapes (Part 2)'' (February 2011).
