The line-up of the band has changed several times, and the longest serving and now core members of the band are lead singer and songwriter Jason "Jay" Kay, percussionist Sola Akingbola (since 1994), and drummer Derrick McKenzie (since 1994). These are the founding members of Jamiroquai and were involved in the writing and production of the first album. The original band was Jay Kay (vocals), Toby Smith ( keyboard), Stuart Zender (bass), Nick Van Gelder (drums), Wallis Buchanan ( didgeridoo) and Alec Moran (pipeau). The band name is a mix of " jam session" and "iroquai", based on the Iroquois, a Native American tribe.
