Their melodic vocal style exemplifies an urbanesque hip hop sound with 90's nostalgia. What started as friendly chance encounters at singing competitions in college eventually solidified into a harmonious group as the boys discovered their shared genuine chemistry, unparalleled love of music, and undeniable musical talents. Through social network and a strong kinship to their Filipino culture they have found their niche in the musical community.

Currently, the boys can be found working hard on their music and videos, and doing what they love most: simply performing.
