Jose Javier Colón --- Jorge Javier Colón
†
We were born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and we’ve spent eight of our twenty-three years submerged in music.
I, Jose, play the bass guitar—it’s an instrument that constantly keeps me curious. I am passionate about the water, surfing and keeping my mind clear via the discipline of sport, yoga, and meditation.
I, Jorge, sing lead vocals and play guitar. In addition to playing the piano, trumpet, and the various other instruments that we use to complement the band. Beach, sports, family are “methods” that I use to keep my mind focus and body healthy.
While in high school in Puerto Rico, we formed our first band. Our studies then took us to the halls of the Loyola University in New Orleans. In that city, we found a pallet of multinational colors and sounds, and a music scene that celebrates creative diversity. We embraced the scene wholeheartedly, as fusion is an integral part of our art.
During our first year there, we re-formed our band and composed and performed original music. After four years in New Orleans, we had shared our music with our fans in many venues such as the House of Blues, Tipitina’s, TwiRoPa, D.B.A., Café Brasil and others. After working our way through college by playing music and working as sound and light technicians in the Loyola Theater community, we graduated in 2003 with degrees in Marketing. Upon graduating, we decided to establish ourselves in New Orleans in order for our music to further evolve into our sound.
After almost two years, we returned to the island of our birth in search of living the dream of music, and with the goal of sharing our art and vision with the rest of the world.

†
Llevamos ocho de nuestros veintitrés años sumergidos en la música, nacimos en San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Yo, José, toco el bajo eléctrico, pues es un instrumento que me mantiene en curiosidad. Me apasiona el mar, "surfing" y despejar mi mente a través de la disciplina del deporte, ademas de yoga y la meditación.
Yo, Jorge, me desempeño como el cantante principal y guitarrista, además de tocar el piano, trompeta, y otros varios instrumentos que a su momento complementan la banda. Playa, deportes, familia son "métodos" que uso para mantener mi mente enfocada y mi cuerpo saludable.
Cursando escuela superior en Puerto Rico, formamos nuestra primera banda, hasta que los estudios universitarios nos trasladaron a las puertas de la Universidad de Loyola, en Nueva Orleans. En esta ciudad nos encontramos una paleta llena de colores multinacionales y buena música. Allí se celebra la diversidad creativa y logramos identificarnos con ésta, pues la fusión es parte importante de nuestro arte. El primer año establecimos nuestra banda de música totalmente original.
Pasados cuatro años, durante los cuales compartimos nuestra música en diversos escenarios como House of Blues, Tipitina’s, TwiRoPa, D.B.A., Café Brasil, etc y contribuimos en el pago de nuestros estudios trabajando en el teatro de Loyola como técnicos de sonido y luces, en 2003 obtuvimos nuestro bachillerato en Mercadeo. Al graduarnos, decidimos establecernos en Nueva Orleans para evolucionar nuestra música.
Luego de casi dos años, regresamos a nuestra isla natal en busca del sueño de la música y con la visión de compartir nuestro arte con el mundo.
