Bio
JOHN IDA MICHAELs - johnny blayze
TERRY DEBO - T-bleece
MESHACK IGBANOI - Mesh

How did the group come about? How long has it been around for?
It’s been around for about 2yrs
JohnnyB and T-bleece have been friends from way back 2005 and we had individual music careers... We both met Mesh at a studio in Jos and over time we became friends and started to do music together and we thought it'd be a great idea to put our energy together for the collective good of both of us and that was how the dynamic singer Mesh came along!

Tell us the inspiration behind what you do.

“It’s always been a childhood dream to be on TV and be celebrated and I've always admired rappers and entertainers, basically the love for music sums it all.” - JohnnyB
“my inspiration has always been the love for music and aura and personalities of rappers.” - T-bleece
“simply put "the love for music" I even had to tattoo music notes on my heart.” - Mesh

JOHN IDA MICHAELs - johnny blayze
Tell us about the struggles/hustles regular youngsters in naija go through just to be heard.
There's so much struggle being an artist in these times, from making the songs and paying studio sessions and producer fee and getting airplay... Getting the shows is a whole different ball game considering the competition in the industry but we get along just fine.

Where do you see yourselves in say five or ten years?
In the next 5years or even closer than that, we see ourselves in a the forefront of the music scene, fully established as major players in the game, picking most desired awards in every category possible

Is there any quote that describes life to you?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (phil3:13)
MESHACK IGBANOI - Mesh
How receptive/supportive are your families & friends to what you do?
Our parents are very supportive, as a matter of fact Mesh's mum is our grand patron, and she believes in us 100%... Drives us to our shows and bring us back and is always there for us, she’s also our lawyer and legal adviser

How will you define your personality/your birth star?
We do not really believe in zodiac signs and superstition so no 'birth star' in our dictionary but our personalities errr, we are mostly extroverts except for Mesh who Is slightly reserved, buh generally we are extroverts, we like to take the crowd u know"

Do you hope to create a niche for yourselves and stand out in your field? How do you intend to achieve this?
Everybody that sets out to stand out must create a niche for himself... But we don't intend to disclose the means, anyways a little idea is we combine different genres to produce a unique sound and that works a great deal

Who are your favorite icons in your field?
JohnnyB - JayZ.
T-bleece -kanye West.
Mesh - John Legend
TERRY DEBO - T-bleece
What message do you hope to send across to people?
It’s all about positivity in whatever you do, be it music, business, whatever u do if you're determined, you can always make it happen... Our reality as humans is only as big as our dream and as far as the eyes or our Hearts can see

How you do hope to influence young people aspiring to make it in your field?
To be a carpenter, you’ve got to be an apprentice, to be an engineer, you got to go to school, so also it is for music, first things first, u gotta learn the art of the trade... Being talented is just where it starts...u gotta take it from there and nurture it like a mother does to her baby until it’s mature and ready for the world

What’s your philosophy to life?
“I can do anything I want if I put my mind to it.”

What’s your style like? Your field/genre/style.
Our style is not in a particular genre because we fuse hipHOP, R&B and afro beats... I'd say we do afroHIPHOP buh really there's no limit to what we can do.
