Celectrixx
Celectrixx is an electronic musical duo formed in Tokyo, Japan in late 2009, consisting of Japanese producer, Katsuya Everywhere (electric/upright bass, programming) and Grammy- nominated vocalist/songwriter N'Dea Davenport (producer, drums/percussion, arranger). The group has showcased throughout Asia, South America, Mexico, the United States, and Europe.
Celectrixx's approach has been to strip back conventional patterns by re-presenting live and digital elements that grow organically with their audience. Their esthetic, has been considered… as another or "other" approach, while keeping a mindful eye on the evolution of music without total abandon of tradition.
Some of Celectrixx's highlights include appearances at the Nublu Jazz Festival-Sao Paulo Brazil, featured speaker (Davenport) and performers at TEDx San Miguel de Allende Mexico, The Cannes Film Festival, and The BMW Series 4 Launch, Kuala Lumpor, Malaysia. The duo continues to preform, write, produce, and create conceptual productions with electronic innovation. Looking forward…linking backward… together, they create their musical identity with passion and dedication.
