Mr. President was a German Eurodance project best known for the crossover world hit "Coco Jamboo," released in 1996. The group is also renowned in Europe for the dance hits "Up'n Away," "I'll Follow the Sun," "I Give You My Heart," "4 on the Floor," "Jojo Action," and the successful albums Up'n Away – The Album and We See the Same Sun.

Mr. President was originally formed in 1991 in Bremen, Germany, by producers Jens Neumann and Kai Matthiesen. Initially, the group consisted of German singers Judith Hinkelmann (T-Seven), Daniela Haak (Lady Danii), and American rapper George Jones (Sir Prophet). In 1994, Jones was replaced by British rapper Delroy Rennalls (Layzee Dee). When Hinkelmann departed from the act in 2000 to pursue a solo career, singer Nadia Ayche joined the group as her replacement. However, Ayche was quickly succeeded by singer Myra Beckmann in 2001. After Beckmann also left the act in 2003, singer Franziska Frank (Franzi) joined the group. By 2008, Mr. President had officially disbanded.

Since 2008, Rennalls has continued to tour across Europe as LayZee, formerly of Mr. President, in addition to releasing his own solo material. In 2014, he recruited Hungarian-born singer Erika Kovács into his live act. Today, Rennalls and Kovács perform the Mr. President hits as a live duo act worldwide.
