[edit] History

JYNXT was founded in 1999 by Koa and Nat Spencer, children of Jeremy Spencer, a former early member of the original legendary Fleetwood Mac. Nat and Koa are brothers and Tally is their younger half-sister. Their style is a fusion of rock/metal and drum n' bass themes.

When asked, "Jynxt - where does that name come from?" Tally Spencer replied, "We chose the name Jynxt as we thought it was strangely symbolic of certain features in our childhood while growing up. We lived in many different countries, in the far east especially, where we encountered a few close calls".[1]
