About Me

KEDJAI: An ALL-IN Experience...

Il progetto KEDJAI [pronunzia: chegiai] viene fondato a Roma a fine 2005 ed è attualmente formato da Sergio (chitarra, loops), Simon (batteria) Giulio (voci) e Tommaso (basso). Le ispirazioni-Kedjai sono molteplici, principalmente l'eclettismo: si pesca dal rock, progressive, funk, psichedelia ed dal metal per arrivare ad una personale sintesi di suono e ricerca musicale. L'intento è di produrre materiale originale, ispirandosi si alla lezione dei Grandi (tanti), ma ricercando soprattutto una 'propria' via. I testi sono principalmente in lingua inglese, con sporadiche sortite in italiano.

Ad oggi il gruppo ha pubblicato un cd autoprodotto, intitolato semplicemente 'Kedjai', contenente 5 brani e registrato allo Spastic Guru Studio di Roma.

Kedjai was born in Rome, 2005. After few line-up changes, the band set around Sergio (guitar), Tom 'Jawze' (electric bass), Giulio (vocals), Simon (drums).

Kedjai's music is a mixture of several influences, including rock, psychedelic, progressive, funk and metal elements. However the REAL-crux of-the-biscuit is try to develop a style of our own, possibly one of a kind, rather than merely imitating other people's work. Kedjai's lyrics cross over boundaries, being both in Italian and English.Between 2005-7 the band concentrate on music production and live performance. Kedjai's have been playing few gigs mostly in Rome area, but they hope soon to bring the show everywhere there may be request.
