Mic Larry - Vocals
Larry Washington (vocalist) was born in Compton, California and raised in Tulsa, OK.
Larry has been developing his soulful voice since the early age of 8 when he frequented the stage of Crossroads Cathedral Church in various performances. As the son of a Preacher and choir director, Washington was unable to listen to secular music growing up, however he still found time to sneak off and fall under the influence of the music of artists like Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson.
Although he played with the idea of singing at an early age, he didn’t revisit the idea of developing his musical career until recent years. Since moving to Atlanta in 2002 Washington has made his way through the Atlanta music scene. His upbeat and energetic vocals have dance floors bursting at the seams with dance crazed patrons and all around fans.
