MONKEY MAJIK

MONKEY MAJIK is a band that consists of two Japanese members and two Canadian members. DICK is from Sapporo and tax is from Sendai. The Plant brothers, Maynard and Blaise, are from Ottawa, Ontario in the country of Canada. The band name "MONKEY MAJIK" was from a song "MONKEY MAGIC" by Godiego in 1978. Originally, Maynard wanted the band to be called MONKEY COSMIC but they thought that MONKEY MAJIK relates more to Japan so MONKEY MAJIK was chosen. Maynard was interested in Japan after his drama teacher's recommended an exchange program during high school but unfortunately, he was late handing in the registration form. After university, Maynard went straight to Japan to teach English. When Blaise was finishing up his last year in university, Maynard called him to come over to Japan to play some music due to the interest of music that he and his brother has.
