Led by Shuya Okino and featuring Vanessa Freeman on lead vocals, KJM is now backed live and in the studio by the powerful Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra (EOANDO) aka Jéroboam, spreading their unique cross-over vision from jazz-funk, broken beat to soulful house, cosmic grooves and everything in-between !
