History

Daze started out as Systematixx in 1994, with Trine Bix, Jesper Tønnov, Lucas Sieber and Steen Bay Hansen. In 1997, Bix, Tønnov and Sieber decided to form a new band, and chose the name Daze, which was a brainchild of RnB producer Karlin. Steen did not join the group for unknown reasons.
The group's music is inspired by Aqua, Dr. Alban and Herbie Crichlow.
