Agent X is a British record production, songwriting and DJ team, originally founded as a duo in London by Music College classmates Greg Bonnick and Leon Price, adding Hayden Chapman and Peter Renshaw to the collective in 2009. The music genres include Dance, Urban and Pop.
Early Works
Agent X first came to success in 2001 when their debut single “Decoy”, initially made as a college project, became one of the biggest Dance records of the year selling 12,000 on white label before later releasing through Warner Music. Until this day “Decoy” is considered a UK Garage classic and has made Kiss 100′s DJ EZ’s successful series of Pure Garage compilation CDs featured on several editions including Pure Garage Classics: Mixed Live by DJ EZ.[1] Since their formation in 2001 the team have been responsible for a series of successful mainstream UK releases including songs with Tinie Tempah, Skepta Ironik, H “Two” O, Dappy from N-Dubz, and Mutya Buena formerly in Sugababes as well as having several official and unofficial remix credits on many American top 10 Billboard recording artists including Ne-Yo,[2] Mariah Carey,[3] Taio Cruz, Jason Derulo, and Keri Hilson.
Most Recent Works
In 2010 Agent X produced “Bad Boy”, the 1st single for independent Grime rapper Skepta, which peaked at #26[4] in the Official UK Singles Chart. After the success of “Bad Boy”, they teamed up again for Skepta’s 2nd single “Rescue Me” which Agent X produced and co-wrote. “Rescue Me” peaked at #14[5] in the Official UK Singles Chart. Greg Bonnick initially sang the demo and although uncredited as the singer, Greg’s vocals were used on the single’s hook. All four members of Agent X made a cameo appearance in Skepta’s both music videos.
In September 2010 and February 2011[6] Agent X have been traveling between London and Los Angeles[7] for extensive periods of time, keeping a video diary on YouTube[8] of their recording sessions.
