Emerging Artist of the Month: Sugar Rush Beat Company

Posted Thu 2 Oct 2008 4:14PM BST by Yahoo! Music Editor in Emerging Artist of the Month

SugaRush Beat Company are a band that defy any easy categorisations. They're psychedelic funk, dark beauty and elasticated grooves evoke musical mavericks such as Prince, NERD and OutKast, without letting the listener ever easily pigeon hole the sounds.

The three members of SugaRush Beat Company hail from three different continents and span four countries. Not the most obvious formula for a band, but then SugaRush Beat Company are no ordinary band. The group comprises of Rahsaan Patterson, a critically lauded soul singer based in LA, Ida Corr -a Danish Electro / Soul singer whose single ‘Let Me Think About It (Featuring Fedde Le Grand)' shot to number 2 in the UK single charts and also stormed into the upper echelons of the US Billboard charts earlier this year - and Australian born, UK based Jaz Rogers.

Jaz, the songwriter, producer, multi instrumentalist and mastermind behind the project is fast becoming one of the most sought after producers and writers in the UK, having recently co-written and produced a large part of Bryn Christopher's highly touted album. He has also worked on tracks for Lauryn Hill's anticipated album. In fact, none other than Pharrell Williams and Timbaland, two of the highest profile producers in the world were so impressed with Jaz and SugaRush that he is now flying to the US this summer to meet them and discuss future collaborations.
