Ji Madz

Ji-MADZ (Jitty Madahar) born and raised in the heart of Handsworth, Birmingham.

His passion for music started at a young age where his experimentation with musical endeavours materialised. As many youngsters usually opt for traditionally typical percussion instruments, Ji-MADZ’ attention was drawn to somewhat of a rarity within young Asians; the BASS Guitar. A very close friend [Prem Nayer] encouraged and assisted him further. With his guidance and Ji-MADZ

determination, he started to progress and initiate himself within the live circuit.

“Call it destiny”, but at that time a newly formed band, namely XLNC, were in search of a young, enthusiastic BASS player to funk up their live performance.  Ji-MADZ was approached and auditioned for the vacancy amongst others, Guess what?? He got selected!! Ji-MADZ had stepped into the realms of live music. It was inevitable that BIG things were destined for him….

After the phenomenal success of the highly acclaimed album “R U Ready”, XLNC became an overnight success, performing at exclusive venues throughout the UK. Not forgetting the touring to Canada, America and Europe on a continuous basis.  XLNC was the 1st Bhangra band to perform Live in Tokyo Japan.

The band went on to win many accolades, including Best Newcomers, Best Song, Best Band and Best Live Act on numerous occasions.
