Although this isnt a complete history of all of the bandmembers, there is some information on what they used to get up to. Jason Kay was born in Stretford, near Manchester. In his teens, he and his mother Karen Kay, a famous jazz singer moved to Ealing, West London. After a bust up with his mother, Jason found himself homeless. At this time, he was heavily influenced by hip hop, graffiti, breaking, and the street culture that goes with it. Jason then found himself working in all kinds of jobs, ranging from telemarketing to selling kiltsAs for music, Jason auditioned for the lead singer position of The Brand New Heavies, but was unsuccessful. Following this, Jay set up his own band consisting of Stuart Zender, Toby Smith, Nick Van Gelder the bands original drummer, and Wallis Buchanan. Toby Smiths musical talent stemmed from when he played bass not keyboards in a band at school. He also had encouragement from his family as his father was a member of a three piece jazz band.
