Reluctants

The Reluctants have attracted major industry attention since their arrival on the urban music scene ? their unique style and sound was instantly recognised by MOBO Magazine, which recently voted them ?Ones to Watch?. They have also been the subject of extensive coverage in other publications such as Touch, Tense and New Nation.

MD and Knowledge come from a small West Indian community in Telford, West Midlands, and have been writing and performing together for over ten years. In partnership with producer Kleiko, they recorded a vast collection of tracks under the moniker DAE (Digital Audio Entourage). Kleiko produced the track ?Who Dat Dere? that shot MDK to the centre of the industry?s attention when they won Diesel Urban Music?s prestigious Best Urban Act award in 2003. MDK then went on to work with London-based producers Afreex, with whom they worked on a number of projects: their debut album, Our Life?Your Entertainment, Urban Music Award-winning mixtape Union Black, and MDK mixtape, WOi!: Volume 1.

The Reluctants welcome new vocalist Maiko to their line-up. Her unmistakeable vocals bring a soulful yet edgy sound to the tracks, proving her talent is as undeniable as her exotic beauty and charisma. Maiko?s drive and ambition has led her to excel in other areas of the entertainment industry. She has been a successful model, worked as a make-up artist in Hollywood, and represented a US record label as an A&R scout. This combined with her business savvy and diverse musical influences made her the obvious choice for The Reluctants. She is currently working hard with the guys in the studio on the group?s debut album.
