Biography

Kajagoogoo, a British new wave band formed in 1979, gained fame with their 1983 hit "Too Shy" and sleek style. The group, initially known as Art Nouveau, included members Nick Beggs, Limahl, Steve Askew, Stuart Neale, and Jez Strode. Their debut album, White Feathers, produced by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, featured catchy synth-pop hooks and polished production, leading to global success with "Too Shy" topping the UK charts.

Following the departure of lead vocalist Limahl, Kajagoogoo continued with a more experimental sound on albums like Islands and Crazy People’s Right to Speak. Despite internal tensions, the band's impact on 1980s pop culture endures, showcasing their vibrant, upbeat pop and influence on the synth-driven new wave era.
