About Jamiroquai

The band’s breakthrough came with their debut album, Emergency on Planet Earth, released in 1993, which showcased their fresh sound and Kay’s burgeoning songwriting talent. Their sophomore effort, The Return of the Space Cowboy (1995), further solidified their identity, but it was Travelling Without Moving (1996) that catapulted them to global superstardom. This iconic album, featuring the Grammy-winning smash hit “Virtual Insanity,” not only topped charts worldwide but also cemented Jamiroquai’s visual prowess with its groundbreaking music video.

Over their illustrious career, Jamiroquai have released seven studio albums, each demonstrating their commitment to evolving their signature sound while staying true to their funk roots. Hits such as “Cosmic Girl,” “Canned Heat,” “Alright,” and “Little L” have become anthems, celebrated for their infectious rhythms, sophisticated arrangements, and Kay’s signature falsetto.
