Location: NJ/NY
Occupation: Musicians/Producing
This group consists of four young, talented men all coming through extremely different walks of life. Hakim, Daniel Joseph, Jahsyah, and Steeve Sam, began their collaboration around 2004, when they all realized the music they were able to create together was beautiful, and “could change the world,” according to lead singer Steeve Sam.
When did you guys first become interested in music?
Steeve answered, “I feel like music has always been in me. Even as a baby, I would be humming tunes, and trying to catch a rhythm. I first realized singing would be my LIFE around the age of 13. That was when I started learning my voice, and creating myself as an artist.” Hakim followed up stating his musicianship began when he was around 5, playing notes off a piano in the back of a church. “I was young, so the piano really interested me. Rapping came along when I was about 13, and bought my first piece of equipment.”
Are there any musical influences you have?
(Daniel Joseph) “my taste in music would have to be influenced mainly by my family. My parents had a very eclectic taste in music that they brought around me all through-out my childhood, which still affects me now. I currently own their music catalogue. Having access to such a thing is a privilege. I always touch base with it.” Hakim added, “I would say being in church at such a young age still has its influence on me. Seeing the way music can touch one’s soul reminds me to create music that brings that same feeling to our listeners. What we must not forget is that music is FEELING, this alone should be enough to influence one to re-create this feeling each time. Besides that, I can easily say Michael Jackson has a huge influence on me. Everyone can agree when I say, his music had that "wow-factor", that feeling.”
In terms of your career, where do you see yourselves 5 years from now?
(Steeve) “I see us having swept the world music award. [laughter] we would have brought peace on Earth, and brought happiness back into music. We create life.”
