ABOUT
When the conversation turns to musical influences, not many groups are likely to mention Michael Buble, Beethoven, Stevie Wonder and flamenco music in the same breath. But it’s the diversity in what inspires them, not to mention their distinctive backgrounds that makes new Warner Bros. Records artist Group 1 Crew stand out in a crowd.
And if their unique hybrid of hip-hop, rock, funk and soul wasn’t enough to distinguish Group 1 Crew on its highly anticipated 2007 self-titled debut, their rare message of hope, love and dreams can’t help but set them apart.
The group got its start when Manwell, a former solo artist and veteran emcee held a post-college get-together for some of his friends, including fellow musicians/band members Pablo and Blanca. Out of their entire group of friends, the three of them still shared a desire to pursue music and decided to team up and try it together and the results speak for themselves. If there’s one thing for sure about Group 1 Crew, it’s not like anything you’ve heard before whether it’s the dancehall groove of “What Yo Name Is,” the funk-laden opener “Love is a Beautiful Thing” or the anthemic “No Plan B.” “Our music isn't for one specific demographic, it's for anyone with a pulse,” says Manwell. “There’s love in our music, and it has meaning for anyone out there. I think once people see that, they’ll get what we do.”
