Jason Kay was born a December 30 of 1969, in Streford Manchester. His mother Karen Kay was a night club singer and TV variety hostess during the 70´s, and Jay´s early life passed traveling around the country with his mom.
Unfurtunately, Jay never met his Portuguese father and he had a twin brother who died at only six weeks. But the life turns on and on, and he decided to left school. That action lead him to live on the streets.

By 1989 he was living in a taxi depot, but that wasn´t an obstacle for him and bought a drum machine and through a friend, copped some free studio time to record some demos. And some years after... well, you know what happened.

Toby was born October 29th 1970. As a youngster he studied classical piano, and musical talent seems to run in his family. His dad has made two records with Dudley Moore.
Making his first record when he was 17, he then discovered house music. From there he got a record deal with the dance label Fffr, and started making music under the name "Kleptomaniacs".
He met Jay Kay through a mutual friend in 1992, and as they say, the rest is history.

Derrick Mackenzie was born a March 27 of 1962. He learnt to play drums with the help of his mother’s chairs and telephone books. Derrick joined Jamiroquai after the release of "Emergency on Planet Earth" and his style have influences of Jazz and Funk.
Now married and with a little girl, the one who in his own words is one of the major influences in his life.

Newest Jamiroquai member Nick Fyffe joined the band in 1998 and made his live debut for them in 1999 on the band's sell-out 'Synkronized' tour. 26 year old Nick was born and raised in Reading and inspired from an early age to become a musician by his keyboard playing father.
Nick's playing on the Synkronized tour and album have been much praised and it is widely acknowledged that he and the band fit together perfectly.

Sola joined Jamiroquai in 1995 as percussionist. Born in 1965 in Nigeria came to the UK with his parents as a young child.
Having played percussion with artists such as jazz guitarist Ronnie Jordan, Sola met Derrick and was soon asked by Jay to join Jamiroquai. His work on stage with the band is awesome to behold and his percussive licks and vibes can also be heard on both Travelling Without Moving and Synkronized.

Rob Harris is the newest member of Jamiroquai and joined as guitarist in 2000. Born 27th August 1971 in Cambridgeshire, he started playing at the tender age of 7. He quickly mastered acoustic and electric guitar and was inspired to become a musician whilst listening to The Beatles.
Rob was brought in to audition for Jamiroquai last year , Jay asked Rob to join the Jamiroquai family permanently and they soon started work recording the new album (released later this year)

Darren has worked with the band since the very recording of "Emergency on Planet Earth" and has been the turntable man in almost all the tours of the band.
Unfortunately we have no more info avalaible. So if you want to contribute with some, please mail it.

It seems that Wallis was not part of the recording of "A funk Odyssey" but we have not been informed about his departure of the band. So ..
Wallis Buchanan was born in London, but his parents came from Kingston, Jamaica.
On the early days he used to skating with Jay in Boston Manor Ealing located at the west of London. He learnt to play didgeridoo with a plastic tube and around 1992, Jay asked him to play it on the intro of "When you Gonna Learn" performing like heaven, so he played it again in the middle of the song.
That’s the story of Mr. Buchanan, who since the early days has been part of the band.
