Meet FIRST PRIORITY: Jade (17), Sasha (18) and Adriana (Dri) (17). Together, they are equipped with the total package for success; strong vocals, great songs, cutting moves and an A+ production team featuring South Floridas emerging producers Blaq and Iz.
Though young in years, they're a professional, experienced trio that is ready to step into the spotlight. While the vocal talent of FIRST PRIORITY was fine-tuned at the Dillard HS Center For The Arts, a performing arts school in Ft. Lauderdale, FL., Jade, Sasha and Dri began singing at an early age. Throughout their educational development, the ladies individually compiled an impressive list of awards ranging from first place in talent competitions to scholarships to colleges.
Currently the group is in the studio completing their first CD, in which they are penning most of the material. And what's coming from FIRST PRIORITY is a versatile mixture of styles and flavors which reflects the cultural diversity of the group. From uptempo R&B joints to expressive ballads and sassy anthems to songs of inspiration, FIRST PRIORITY wants to be known as a group that brings the triple threat to the equationbrains, beauty and creativity. "We love writing our own material," states Jade, "because it is an excellent means of self expression. I enjoy explaining my point of view and expressing myself in a manner others can relate to." Dri agrees. "We dont want to just be known for our sex appeal, we want to be role models for the young ladies out there that want to follow their dreams, while maintaining respect for themselves. You dont have to be half dressed to be considered beautiful." Sasha concurs. "For us, its about the positive messages in the music."
And it starts with FIRST PRIORITY coming out of the gate fresh and sassy with the infectious lead single "First Priority." Jade, one of the songs cowriters, states that "when I heard the beat for the first time, I knew this had to be a song with attitude that was meant to remind the fellas not to take us for granted, and that we (the ladies) should be treated like queens."
As Jade, Sasha and Dri prepare themselves and audiences for their debut, they have each committed themselves to becoming a force in the industry as dynamic vocalist, great songwriters, and incomparable entertainers.
