Composer, lyricist and writer Georg Kajanus is best known for being the singer, 12-string guitar player and songwriter for the group Sailor. He is the son of Prince Paul Tchegodaieff of Russia and J. Kajanus, the award-winning Finnish/Norwegian sculptress. He is the great-grandson of Robert Kajanus: composer, conductor, confidant of Sibelius and founder of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. He is the brother of actress and film-maker Eva Norvind and the uncle to Mexican theater and television actress, Nailea Norvind.
Born in Trondheim, Norway, Kajanus moved with his mother and sister to Paris at the age of thirteen. It was there that he studied music and the classical guitar, as well as attending the Cité Universitaire’s flying school. The family then relocated to Canada where Kajanus became involved in the North American folk music scene.
After a yearlong journey through the Middle East and Europe, Kajanus moved to London, where he formed the folk-rock group, Eclection, whose other members included Kerrilee Male, Trevor Lucas, Michael Rosen and Gerry Conway. Eclection was one of the few British signings to the American label, Elektra Records, and they released one album entitled ‘Eclection’, which was a personal favorite of Elektra's founder, Jac Holzman. Eclection toured the UK extensively and appeared with such acts as Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan at the Isle Of Wight Festival.
Five years later, Kajanus used his youthful experiences of the colorful night life of Paris to invent Sailor. Under Kajanus' leadership, Sailor was awarded numerous gold and silver records for its success in Europe and Australia in the 1970s. Kajanus' singles and albums for Sailor achieved Top 10 and Top 20 chart status throughout Europe and the UK; the most successful being the Kajanus-penned 'A Glass Of Champagne' (UK No.2, Germany No.3, Australia No.5, Switzerland No.2) and 'Girls, Girls, Girls' (UK No.7, Germany No.2, Australia No.14, Switzerland No.3).
Kajanus left Sailor to experiment with electronic music in the 1980s with his new creation, DATA. The classically orientated title track of DATA’s first album, ‘Opera Electronica’, was used as the theme music to the short film, ‘Towers Of Babel’ (1981), which was directed by Jonathan Lewis and starred Anna Quayle and Ken Campbell. ‘Towers Of Babel’ was nominated for a BAFTA award in 1982 and won the Silver Hugo Award for Best Short Film at the Chicago International Film Festival of the same year. Kajanus followed ‘Opera Electronica’ with two more albums: the experimental ‘2-Time’ (1983) and the Country & Western inspired ‘Elegant Machinery’ (1985). DATA's albums achieved cult status in nightclubs throughout the USA and Europe.
