3 Strikez: 3 Perspectives - 1 Objective
"3 Strikez" is an Oakland based Hip Hop/Rap trio, with an extremely different style in the industry. The young group originally started as a duo, 2Noble which was formed by Brian Parker aka B.Wayne from Galveston, TX, and Pat Vaz aka P.V. from Tracy, CA. They met in 2003 at a college in Oakland, CA, where they both played basketball. B.Wayne and P.V. soon discovered that they not only shared their interest in basketball but also their love for music. They started to write and record their own songs in their dorm rooms over beats produced by B.Wayne. Months later, after making a 12 track CD called 2Noble Underground, Julia Aguila aka Ju aka Tha Girl from Vallejo, CA joined the group, adding a real female perspective to their music. As a trio they continued to write and record songs, and later changed their name to 3 Strikez (Representing: 3 pitches unique to be hit, leading 3 different strikes, or movements in the right direction. 3 Perspectives ONE Objective) Each member of the group addresses a different target audience, which has never been done before representing each of their backgrounds. P.V. Suburbia, B.Wayne the streets, and Ju the female listeners. The combination of the 3 perfectly joins 3 different perspectives while still following one common objective. With their music they want to make people feel good, help them overcome their everyday troubles, and satisfy their daily moods. 3 Strikez are currently working on their first album titled The Change Up. The group has a following in the underground Hip Hop scene throughout the Bay area, where they have headlined multiple shows. In 2005, B.Wayne and Pat Vaz founded the record label 2Noble Entertainment under which 3 Strikez is signed. The three have a chemistry that is unmatched and almost eerie because of their completely different backgrounds. Their styles compliment each other perfectly, and when all is said and done this group will be a definite top talent in the music industry.
