Artist Information

Biography

"Music is so simple, just open your mouth and sing" the slogan of Diesel, Xion, Jericho and Bishop collectively known as COMPOZITIONZ.

In the Fall of 1999, the brainchild of 4 young men from Jackson, Mississippi attending Jackson State University, was born . Being JSU's Performing Quartet for a time, they later added one more member, and began a musical story soon to be etched in the stone of musical history. At that time, COMPOZITIONZ made the commitment to extending their talents way beyond the confines of Mississippi and share their special brand of music.

With an explosive chemistry that cannot be duplicated, COMPOZITIONZ has fused rhythm and blues, gospel, jazz and classical genres of music and created a blend that will leave you captivated. They having traveled the nation performing with and for such musical icons as Michael Bolton, Grace Bumbry, Cassandra Wilson, Peabo Bryson, Ronald Isley, The O'Jay's, Swedish Superstar Carola Häggkvist and an array of others.

In March of 2002, COMPOZITIONZ began the grueling task of learning and perfecting live performances with a desire to excite and tantalize audiences from ages 8 years old to 80! COMPOZITIONZ deeply felt that something real and true was missing in music; something that was faintly there but smothered by the weight of pyro-technics and vocal synthesizers. So with strong, southern-root based voices, armed with steps inspired by the mighty Temptations; while being compared to the original five, COMPOZITIONZ launched themselves into a whole new era of their musical undertaking.

The energy, dynamic choreography and impeccable sound is guaranteed to make the crowd roar and embrace the rebirth of Popular/Soul music.

  The group turned the place out and even cooks and the kitchen staff came upfront to see who was rocking the place. They are GREAT entertainment.
