Artist History The project which is Necessity & The Inventions started out very modestly in the UK, London N19, in 1998. Since then it has picked up speed, left the British Isles and relocated to Stockholm, Sweden. Presently under heavy influence of African Acid Jam, Necessity & The Inventions is contemplating moving to South Africa, at least mentally. Thinking is the best way to travel.
