"Introducing...THE FUNKTASTICS"

A short film of The Funktastics live experience. Watch It Now!!!!


When you hear the name THE FUNKTASTICS one might think of a huge 10-piece funk band but this dynamic duo consists of multi-talented artists, Tauros and Barsheem. The pair presents a new era in POP music. Their high-energy performances and creative style displays a rare take on live entertainment. Borrowing the Fun of Funk, the Heart of Soul and the Sex of Rock, THE FUNKTASTICS offer a sound all their own.

Tauros, a native of Detroit, and Barsheem of Brooklyn, NY met in Los Angeles, CA. With an industry saturated with solo male artists, they decided to market themselves in a partnership. Influenced by such self-contained artists as Prince, Stevie Wonder and James Brown, Tauros writes, produces and plays multiple instruments. Barsheem is a master songwriter, vocal arranger and producer who admire storytellers and balladeers such as Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Tony Bennett and Miles Davis. In 2005, they recorded their debut cd entitled “Funktastic Party”.

Once the album was complete, they promoted and distributed through the ever-growing MYSPACE.COM and iTUNES. As their fan base increased, they performed in various venues including The House of Blues, B.B. Kings, The Viper Room and The Stone. THE FUNKTASTICS created a scene unlike any other.

2007 is proving to be the year of THE FUNKTASTICS. Having four songs from their debut cd featured in the SHOWTIME film "Pants In The Family", earning great reviews on their exclusive myspace single "SODA POP!" and the release of their new CD "FUNKTASTICS IN THE SKY", they are well on their way to becoming a household name. Ladies and gentlemen put your hands together for. THE FUNKTASTICS
