    Speaking music and activism with Itch from The King Blues

    Jonny Fox, better known as Itch, is an English rapper who has a compelling story.

After the band's split in 2012, Itch ventured to Los Angeles to work on solo material with John Feldmann of Goldfinger. His debut solo album, "The Deep End," released in 2014, featured notable collaborations and led to extensive touring, including performances at renowned festivals.
