The xx
The xx are a multi-award winning trio formed in 2005 in London, United Kingdom and signed to Young. The band is made up of Romy Madley-Croft (guitar, vocals), Oliver Sim (bass guitar, vocals) and Jamie Smith, also known as Jamie xx (beats, record production). They first appeared on the public’s radar in early 2009 with the single “Crystalised,” which sparked a storm of commercial and critical success and led up to their debut album released later that year, self-titled “xx.” Since this they have won the Mercury Prize and headlined festivals across the globe, being recognised as having “one of the great sleeper hits of the last decade”.
