ULTIMATE KAOS, MICHAEL JACKSON FANS
This British boy band dream to sing with Bambi
English translation by Xavier Auffret Van Der Kemp
Ultimate Kaos are popular London suburbs kids, originating from
Jamaica and are the latest act from the Stock & Aitken
family (producers specialising in boy bands for last 10 years). Recruited
by casting, Ryan (17), Jayde (17), Jomo (20), Haydon (15) and Nicky (21)
have an immoderate taste for Michael Jackon music, football and
girls.
"They are my reason to live. But I am not a 'Casanova'. I am shy and
loving", says Jomo.
Their name, Ultimate Kaos, was choosen to instantly sound like the
initials of United Kingdom (U.K.). It was a good enough symbol for
a dance music band, originally targeted for the British market.
But the success of their first single, Casanova (3rd in the UK Top 40) (??? - JK),
led them to the other side of the Channel.
To assure their French success, U.K. toured with the well known boy
band Worlds Apart.
That was a good start, which, according to them, gave them a lesson of
professionalism.
The secret dream of Ryan, Jayde, Jomo, Haydon and Nicky is to record a
duet with Michael Jackson. "This would be the best day of my life, says
Ryan, son of a Jamaican musician who worked with Jimmy Cliff and with
the Wailers.
For now, the band can celebrate the England Champions title of their
Arsenal London football team, trained by the French Arsène Wenger.
