    Similar Artists
    JK2's vocal style has been compared on numerous occasions with Bowie. After years of listening to him, I guess it's just rubbed off.....As for musical style JK2 is unique.
    Artist History
    Having failed many times to get on with other musicians, JK2, has decided in the year 2000 to do it all himself. It saves many many rows. Or should we say differences of opinion.....

    Press Reviews
    "Blue Glass" EP (Kensington Records)"Just when I thought the music scene was becoming slightly mundane, along comes JK2 to refresh musical parts other bands have failed to reach. Blue Glass sets the tone with a hypnotic concerto full of soulful sincerity and ambient backing..." Lee Scriven, Citizen Newspapers.
