What:
Sexy, ambient dance grooves move under layers of synthesizers & keyboards. Beautifully haunting & catchy vocal melodies float provocatively over the music telling stories of love lost, gained, & coveted. Merging the acoustic & the electric, mixing soulful chords with funky beats; The West Exit is a sultry blend of pop, R?, & electronic music.
When:
Jenkins & Harper have been working together on several music projects since 1995. The most recent of which was the neo-soul group Dim at Asia which added Smith to the line up and who over the previous two years gained a mild following and packed dance floors in venues throughout Seattle.
Billin joined them March 2002 as their sound engineer. The foundation of The West Exit took form in February 2003 when Jenkins disbanded Dim at Asia to explore more electronic music realms and Billin stepped forward into his new role in the group.
Where:
All members reside in Seattle, WA.
