GeeJay

On 15 October 2026 at YES in Manchester, GeeJay bring their stripped-back soul and R&B blend to the stage. Formed in Harringay, London, the duo of Gee (vocalist and songwriter) and Jay (producer and multi-instrumentalist) grew out of after-hours jams on a café piano. That origin still shapes their sound: direct songwriting, supple melodies, and piano-led grooves with a touch of jazz.

Live, the balance is clear. Gee’s voice carries raw, emotive stories about growth, resilience and vulnerability, while Jay anchors the set with warm keys, tight rhythms and subtle textures. The pair work in close conversation, letting songs rise and fall on feel as much as form. Their debut album, What’s the Sun Without the Rain?, and its 2024 single Stronger Than You Think widened their reach, with spins across BBC stations and support from UK tastemakers. On stage, that momentum turns into a focused, intimate energy built for a room like YES.

Expect a set that moves between slow-burn soul and more groove-forward passages, leaving space for dynamics and detail. GeeJay keep arrangements lean, favouring storytelling, interplay and a confident sense of restraint over excess.
