We had the pleasure of interviewing Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine over Zoom video! Please share while we are #togetherathome 🏠 "Multi-platinum, 4x JUNO Awards nominated breakout duo Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine (ExJ) are currently climbing the Top 40 charts with their new track "Want You Back", released March 6 via Big Machine Records. Adding a fresh take on their inventive sound, the 2020 JUNO Award nominees for "Group of the Year" and "Pop Album of the Year", iHeartRadio Much Music Best New Canadian Artist and 2019 SOCAN Pop Music Award winners produce, write, and play on all of their songs - melding the three skills into genre-blurring, emotionally impactful experiences unlike any other, striving to create moods and worlds through highly eclectic, surreal musical moments. 2019 JUNO Award nominees for "Breakthrough Group of the Year" and "JUNO Fan Choice", ExJ kicked off last year with the release of their debut EP "8:47". Featuring seven self-penned tracks, including the CRIA 2x PLATINUM-certified chart-topper "Ain't Easy", and CRIA GOLD-certified singles "Better Off", and "You", 8:47 showcased the award-winning pairs delicate marriage of exploratory musical styles and palpable emotional play. In September of 2019, ExJ delivered a fresh take on their inventive sound, offering a trio of digital tracks including "White Rice", "I'm Yours" and "Taste", dubbed "a welcome change of pace for the duo that hints at a new and exciting direction that we can't wait to hear more of" by CBCMusic. With over 60 million collective streams and one million Shazam's of their songs worldwide, ExJ is comprised of instrumentalist/composer Elijah Woods, "churning out endlessly inventive hooks" (Ottawa Citizen), and lyricist/vocalist Jamie Fine, whose "vocal delivery bores the influence of artists from Alanis to Adele" (Ottawa Citizen), ExJ strive to remain true to a vision that deviates from the mainstream, bringing full-sized moments and their kinetic energy to the forefront, one genre-defying hit at a time."
