Donney (Dsmoov) Smith is a quiet laid back individual whom is very soft spoken, But when it comes to putting down the tracks, he lets his fingers do the talking. Known as just Smoov to some he found him self in central Florida after wanting to leave his smaller hometown of Merritt Island to pursue a music Career. His efforts landed him in audio engineering school where not only did he excel but became an instructor, and eventually wound up opening his own school.
Donney says:"Being in the business is like making LOVE, A lot of hard work putting it down, but very satisfying in the end."
He eventually fell into his own world as far as music is concerned. Listening to artists like Donnell Jones, R Kelly, and Kc and Jo Jo growing up, he credits a lot of his success to those individuals.
"Production is my thing. My production is me, Im motivated by real world experiences. I express myself through the keyboard. Its what I do, I have been blessed with a god given gift. I have to use this gift."

Charles (Big EL ) Ellison is the other key part of this group. His very outspoken personality leaves him never at a lost for words. A big comedian at times Big El lives in Mt Dora, a small town north of Orlando. El enjoys just hanging out with some of his closest friends. El says his mother and father are his inspiration. Seeing all the hard work they have done gives me my drive to work harder. I want any reward I receive to be a reward they receive, I love them that much. El grew up in the church and you can tell by his voice. His very powerful vocal meshes well with Smoovs softer voice. Els inspiration is from groups like New Edition, Jodeci, and also artists like Bobby Brown. El has taken his talents to new levels. His writing style is quite like no other. Very serious about everything he does, when his pen hits the paper its all business. El says a lot of the songs he writes are also through real life experiences.
