Jekyll-and-Hyde are Mark R Bebb (songwriting and all vocals) & Robert Bradley (songwriting and musical production) a pop music duo originating from South Wales U.K. Their career began back in 1999 when via an un-planned meeting in a recording studio, the duo were born. Jekyll-and-Hyde started out under the name 'Unit E'. Under this banner, they were regional UK finalists of Future Music Publishing & Yate's Wine Lodge's Songwriters of the Year from thousands of entries.

In 2004 Jekyll-and-Hyde signed to German independent label 'Cream Records' and publishing House APS Musikverlag based in Frankfurt-am-Main. Under the direction of dance mogul producer Hans Hahn (the name behind the then Sony Dance Pool smash hit works such as 'Mysterious Art' Das Omen & 'Soddom & Gomorrha's' Christus Eleison among many others) released their debut single 'invisible'. Co-produced by Rado Petrek of 'No Name Music'.

'Invisible' was followed up by a joint debut album 'deviator' collaboration between the duo's own label B&B Records & Cream Records one year later in 2005.

In 2005 the duo managed to rack up 5 consecutive number one's from 'deviator' on U.S. soundclick.com the first internet charts. One track in particular 'if I could only' managing to hit number one twice! Other number ones included 'invisible', 'sms' & 'it's over'.

In 2006 the duo signed a recording and publishing contract with UK based Silverword Music Group / SMG Distribution & Optimum Records as well as being managed by Niche Management. Their second studio album 'evolver' was released in November 2006 to a very positive response, being compared to the iconic likes of 'Erasure' and 'A soft Cell for the Noughties' in Press review.

In 2007 Jekyll-and-Hyde recorded a retro electronica version of Sir Cliff Richard's epic pop track 'wired for sound', a collaboration with musical theatre impresario 'Darren Day' taking lead vocals with Jekyll-and-Hyde taking a back-seat on the backing vocals and musical production. The track was released on Optimum Records in November 2007 and met with very positive acclaim in press reviews.

In September 2010 Jekyll-and-Hyde released a track on their own B&B record label entitled 'Destination' performed by sassy female pop trio 'The Alpha Belles'.

In 2011, Jekyll-and-Hyde finally completed their long-awaited third studio album 'analogue pop' which is now scheduled for release in 2012. 'Analogue Pop' is once again a musical evolution in terms of sound and style. This new work is mainstream commercial pop in genre. Pop melodies have always formed a prevalent musical undercurrent for the duo since their conception, their forthcoming album will help to solidify their original goal and musical orientation.

The first single scheduled for release from 'Analogue Pop' in 2012 will be a stunning pop ballad entitled 'beautiful'. Remixes for 'beautiful' have already been completed by dj jekyll and also by Phillipe Van Eecke of 'Klangzeuger', producer of Multi-award winning German Pop Icon Xavier Naidoo. A remix for 'Diablo' from the new album has also been completed by DJ Ram (top Russian pop producer for the likes of Delerium, Tatu & Armin Van Buren's pop princess 'Polina Griffis'). Jekyll-and-Hyde are currently working with their new dutch agent / manager Jacques Lejeune at International Artists with the aim of licencing 'beautiful' into international territories.
