Artist History Formed in 1998, and though headquartered in London's Islington district, Brand X hail from as far away as Europe, South Africa and the Middle East, drawn together by their love of music. It is fronted by 28-year-old singer, Rezina Khan, a recent immigrant to the UK and whose vocal style is heavily influenced by the Indian ragas. This year, the band plans a tour of the Far East to kick off their forthcoming album, and to push their first single, "Ode To My Father" under the Origin Records Label.
