Biography

Lazyboy was a project helmed by producers Johnny Douglas (George Michael, Kylie Minogue) and Søren Rasted (co-founder of Aqua). With the November 2004 full-length Lazyboy TV (released through Universal), Lazyboy drew from and commented on 21st century pop culture, while offering insight into humans' collective need for fulfillment in both life and love. With the work of singers, voiceover artists, and other contributors layered over a bed of samples and soft electronic programming, the cumulative effect was one of humanism set on burst mode. "Man Woman (Yin & Yang)" explored sexual politics in a series of catch phrases; the voice on "Inhale Positivity" encouraged listeners to "smile at a stranger on the street"; and "Facts of Life" recited a list of surprising, insightful, and sometimes unsettling facts and averages over gentle dance beats. Collaborators on Lazyboy TV included vocalist Andrea Grant, British actor Christopher Fairbanks (providing the voice on a cover of the 1971 Les Crane inspirational hit "Desiderata"), and New York City comic Greg Giraldo, whose acerbically funny ranting provided the hook for the Internet download hit "Underwear Goes Inside the Pants." ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Lazyboy is a musical project started by Aqua member Søren Nystrøm Rasted, also known as Lazy B in the UK. It is not to be confused with the British musical project also known as Lazyboy, which consists of Dan Carey and Rob da Bank. It uses spoken word trivia, self-help advice, voices of people on the street and criticism of modern society set to hip hop-esque beats in a style dubbed "Rhythm'n'Speak" by the creators.

The album Lazyboy TV debuted in 2004 and received some initial airplay with the video for "Facts of Life". The single release of "Underwear Goes Inside the Pants" made a name for Lazyboy, charting at #5 in Australia and topping the iTunes download chart. However both the second single "Inhale Positivity" and the Lazyboy TV album missed the charts internationally.

In 2006 it was announced the project would change its name to Lazy B for the impending UK release in July, following an agreement with furniture manufacturer La-Z-Boy "to end any confusion between music and chairs". According to the official site, Lazy B was commissioned to produce a piece for the Royal Danish Ballet to commence in Copenhagen in March of 2007.
