This Week's Spotlight- Bonjay

This weeks Spotlight : BONJAY



Drawing their name from spice island slang for "Good God!", Bonjay were born in a basement at Ottawa's legendary Disorganised parties. What began as a simple crowd pleasing party lark has developed into a serious commitment to songwriting and production, including remixes for labels like Mad Decent, Ninjatune and Ghetto Arc (XL Recordings).





With Alanna on the mic and Pho on beats & effects, their live performance is a high-energy sound system of bass and soul. Dancehall innovation, indie sentiments, and R&B hooks - these are the sounds booming out from the jeeps, towers and headphones of young Toronto, and Bonjay makes them their own.





I love their sound.  I think they are definetly artistic and Stumble is in my Ipod.  I love the way she sings in that song.  It is ashame that groups like this remain in the underground and some groups who do not deserve their fame make it out from the underground.  The rhythmatic flow of these songs can really get you hooked.  Hopefully the music world will embrace this sound, it is different yet captivating.  I give it two thumbs way up! Enjoy!!!
