Geggy Tah

Before he was writing and producing hits for Adele, Sia, Harry Styles, Lily Allen, Beck, Pink, and Paul McCartney, Greg Kurstin was one half of the band Geggy Tah. The other half was the vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Tommy Jordan. Both Greg and Tommy had younger sisters who couldn’t pronounce their names when they were kids—Greg was known as "Geggy,” and Tommy was “Tah”—but more importantly they were both musical savants. It was an amazing time for them with this unusual group, touring with a third member, the theremin virtuoso Pamelia Kurstin. They made three albums of blue-eyed soul together in the nineties (their 1996 song “Whoever You Are” topped the charts and wound up in a Mercedes Benz commercial), and after that they moved to LA and faded into the ether that engulfs all one-hit wonders.
