PHOCUS came together in 2005, but have already accomplished more than most bands twice their age. Not only have they played the hottest and largest venues in their hometown, but they've also played at some of the most exclusive clubs in the Southwest. Such as Club Barcelona in Scottsdale, B.B. King's Blues Club in Universal Studios, and The Key Club in downtown L.A. The band has also managed to open for and perform with some successful artists along the way.(Ice Cube, Baby Bash, Rah Digga, Rampage, The Flipmode Squad, The Sugar Hill Gang, W.A.R. The Blue Notes, and Jmar to name a few.) With all that to their credit PHOCUS isn't about dropping names, they're about dropping jaws, with their electrifying live show. The PHOCUS sound has been described by many as "Rock and Soul," the smoothness of R&B with power and passion of rock music. It's this signature sound that led the band to win first place in three separate states (New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona) and landed seventh place in the nation when they participated in the 2007 Emergenza Festival. If that's not enough the band was also featured in a nationwide commercial for Liquid Wick Pool Cues in which they wrote and performed original material for the spot. The band consists of Tanecia Warren & Leaf Jeffries on vocals. Samantha Martinez on bass. Ricki Warren on keyboards. Willie Hiley on drums and percussion, and Jessie Martinez on guitar.
