The band is a two-piece composed of Mingo Lewis and Karissa Ssapien:
-Mingo Lewis (drums / vocals / percussion) Mingo is one of the top hand percussionists and drummers in the world today. A music composer for film as well as a musician in the world of jazz, world, funk, rock, afro-Cuban, and fusion music. Mingo has been featured on many gold and platinum albums over the years, with artists such as Santana, Brian Eno, David Byrne, XTC, Billy Joel, Todd Rundgren, Aretha Franklin, Houssain Kili and others.

Karissa “Sound Sapien� has been playing music for most of her life and has studied jazz and world music. She has her own voice in music, and sound design, able to change directions musically from jazz to hip-hop and beyond; what Karissa brings to the band is a sound morphing journey into the world of ethno-electronica.

Forest Gras
Forest’s unique guitar, soulful vocal style, and the quality of the players in his band bring freshness and a high level of integrity to all the music they perform. For entertainment value, excellent musicianship, and an all-around good spirit. He has released four albums which have received airplay on domestic radio and international exposure via the internet. Forest and his band offer an extensive repertoire which includes original songs as well as material by such diverse artists as John Mayer; Eric Clapton; Wilson Picket; Led Zeppelin; Stevie Ray Vaughn, Elvis Presley, and many more.

Dioxin One (DJ)
Playing drums by the age of 8, Clayton Hicks aka "Dioxin One" was primed and ready to fire off a batteries of rhythm later as a young adult. Already producing his own tracks on FL Studio by the age of 15, Dioxin has continued to hone his talents and sculpt his vision of beats and bass. He was given the name "Diox" to tag by a fellow street artist, thus birthing "DJ Dioxin." In late 2009 Dioxin's first exposure to the sub-genre of "Dubstep" left an indelible impression and has thus influenced much of his output today. "I heard the wobble synth and in my head I went... 'I gotta learn how to make this."
