Friends since high school, these two post-futuristic creators grew up together in Michigan. Born out of their mutual adoration for the Post-Punk and New Wave movements of the early 1980's, and an obsession with Ghettotech and Booty music that penetrated the
airwaves and rave scene in Detroit in the 90's, <b>Mayer </b>and <b>KT </b>have created a brand new sound they call “Beat Wave.”
<br>
<br>
“It's a modern amalgamation of influences including Ultravox, J Dilla & DJ Assault,” says
<b>KT</b>. <br>
<b><br>
Kendall Tucker</b>, aka <b>14KT</b>, has released five solo albums and <span style="background:white">
has produced music for Aloe Blacc, Bun B, Danny Brown, Elzhi, Jay Electronica, as well as
<b>Mayer </b>and others.</span> Though the pair maintain a long history, this marks their first album together as Jaded Inc.<br>
<br>
“This album is completely different from what I’ve done in the past- it's all synths and no live instruments," says
<b>Mayer Hawthorne. <br>
