Jamiroquai (pronounced /dʒəˈmɪrə'kwakwakwa'aiaiai/) is British funky-smelling jazz band on bad acid. The band was formed in 1992. by a hippie/yuppy bastard, self-named Jay Kay. Of course, as a young child he always wanted to be called that way, if he would ever become an artist. But because of the humiliation from his (f)art project, he hid his identity under the band name Jamiroquai (no 'boo boo' for 'Jay Jay'). Despite of his masochistic music, the band sold over 25 million albums world-wide. Around 24 million albums were bought by Jay Jay alone.
