Jacques Daniels Project

About Me

Jacques Daniels Project started as a title under which to experiment different styles of writing music. At first, in 2003, it was only me (J.K.), but later I started using real musicians when the project started really sparkling with life in 2005. The first un/official album was made as a scholarly work at Kuopio Conservatory, and was mostly a mock compilation of different styles of rock, pop, jazz and other regular forms of music... and more notably, has always been widely unavailable. The first official JDP band was formed in Rovaniemi, during the spring of 2006, which performed one gig at Holvi Bar in Rovaniemi, and later recorded a demo EP. Due to semi-militant reasons, the band went on a figuratively long break, which ended in September 2007. Since then, JDP have been on and off rehearsing and recording material for their first official album on their independent label, which is to be released during Q3/2008.
