Jurat.T.T is the lead singer and guitarist, hailing from Xinjiang's Karamay City. His musical style is of national, indepedent rock. From 1995 to 2000 he set up a lot of local bands, and in 2002 arrived in Beijing after forming the "Warriors Choir", a band with national folk rock and its own style. Later on, he forked the "Home Laity band" which rocked the nation, in independent rock style, with funk, blues and psychedelic influences. Home Latifah band is in cooperation with the German singer MIA, displaying Brit-rock form. Now in his solo act, he is crafting and refining his style of indie rock alongside Xinjiang ethnic folk music.
On July 10th 2011, the band performed at the VA Bar. According to Beijing Daze:
One look at band’s leader and namesake, Jurat wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt and I knew I was in the right place. Jurat has been in Beijing playing different genres of music for around 10 years, (including playing with Kazakh musician Mamer who is due to release his new album tomorrow) and his current band shows that, bringing together a fusion of rock, blues, and folk. All the songs were sung in Uighur except for the last one in English and all were Jurat’s own compositions except for one traditional Uighur song which gets the rock treatment. For two of the songs he played a different guitar, which was tuned to sound like a traditional Uigher instrument, giving them a really original feel.[1]
