After taking home a couple of trophies at the Underground Music Awards in 2010 at BB King Blues Club & Grill in the heart of Times Square, New York City, this talented threesome are primed and ready to expand their buzz from the local ranks to global status. Group members OxPro, Jay-Will and Kira took timeout from their busy schdule to introduce themselves, and also share with us their dreams of big-time success in the music industry.
RG: Where are you all from?
Jay-Will: I'm from Long Island, New York, OxPro hails from Gilford Park in New Jersey and Kira was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. It's a long stretch, but somehow we make it happen! (Laughs)
RG: How long have you guys been together as a group, and how well do you all get along with each other?
Jay-Will: Trillogy has been a group for going on six years now. OxPro is the veteran....I joined about five years ago and Kira came in three years ago.
Kira: On most days, we're cool as far as us getting along with each other. It's when we have to record a song or decide on a track is when we bump heads a little bit, but other than that, we pretty much get along great!
OxPro: To put it simply - Trillogy is a family!
RG: Nice! Now, a fan of good, quality music is always checking for 'the next big thing.' How would you promote your brand of musicality to convince the record-buying public that you are 'the next big thing' in the Hip-Hop/R&B game?
Jay-Will: I think for me is our honesty in the music, as well as just being ourselves. You always have to sell to yourself, but at the same time, always be true to yourself as possible; that's my motto.
OxPro: All I ask is for the people to listen to our music and feel it. Our music never stays the same. We constantly challenge ourselves to come up with fresh ideas and new melodies. We work extremely hard, and we try to make music that everybody can enjoy. We don't just make music for any one particular audience - we make music for the entire world!
RG: What does 'performing live' mean to you?
Kira: To me, performing live is what makes all the hard work in the studio, as well as the songwriting process, pay off. As an artist, you get to express how you feel to your fans, and they get to see your emotions behind the music. Hearing the fans scream, clap their hands, and knowing that our music is touching someone makes us as a group feel real good when we're performing live onstage!
RG: Are you all involved in other ventures outside of the music?
Jay-Will: I'm an electrician by day, but I also love to ride dirt bikes in my spare time. I get yelled at from management for jumping four stories high, but hey, you only live once, right? (Laughs)
Kira: I am not involved in any venture outside of music right now. Just exclusively dealing with the music is a lot as it is!
OxPro: The only other venture I have outside of music is cutting hair, and it's actually been a hobby of mine for a few years now. Who need a haircut? (Laughs)
RG: What would be the 'icing on the cake' for you as a group?
Jay-Will: For me, the 'icing on the cake' would be for us to succeed, and to finally reap what we started sowing a long time ago before we even met each other. We've all had these dreams and aspirations, and three-times the drive is better than one!
Kira: I'd say the 'icing on the cake' for me would be for us to make history by landing on the No.1-spot on every Billboard music chart all across the world, and also for us to become an iconic group and having TRILLOGY written in big, bright lights in Times Square!
OxPro: I would say the 'icing on the cake' at this point would be what we all are working towards - being invited to the Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, etc., and also for us to be nominated for major music awards, making classic records that touch people across the world, and just leaving our mark in music as a whole!
