MONKEY MAJIK
MONKEY MAJIK is a Japanese pop band that consists of two Japanese members and two Canadian members: DICK from Sapporo, tax from Sendai, and the Plant brothers, Maynard and Blaise, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The band's name is based on the song "MONKEY MAGIC" by GODIEGO in 1978. Originally, Maynard wanted the band to be called MONKEY COSMIC, but the other members thought that MONKEY MAJIK relates more to Japan. They are signed to binyl records and managed by Edward Limited.
Maynard was interested in Japan after his drama teacher's recommended an exchange program during high school. Unfortunately, he was late handing in the registration form, but after university, he went straight to Japan to teach English. When Blaise was finishing his last year in university, Maynard invited him to Japan to complete the band, due to their shared interest in music.
