Arenbe - Wonderboy ft. Drastik & Lauren Jones produced by Sirrah Money
Showcasing contrasting styles that combine to form their signature sound, the R&B duo known as "Arenbe" (pronounced as Uh-Ren-Be)- a name that symbolizes their future success in a new paradigm of Rhythm and Blues music, have created a new look and sound that is guaranteed to launch them to the top of the entertainment industry. Tate, known for his soft melodic tones and creative vocal ability, and Bobby, known for possessing a powerful voice and smooth raspy sound, were both heavily influenced by Gospel music and the rich musical heritage of the southern region. Bobby also credits his sound to the influence of music from around the world, which he picked up over the years while traveling with his father who was in the Navy. After meeting almost ten years ago through mutual friends, Bobby and Tate joined with a third vocalist to form a group then known as "Intense". Singing in local talent shows gave the group a platform to display their ability and they quickly began to build in popularity giving the unique opportunity to open for several well-known artist. From 2000 thru 2003, Intense opened up shows for artists such as Carl Thomas, Mya, Mystical, Ideal, Jon B, Dave Hollister, and KC & JOJO and various other established vocalists. They have also performed at celebrity basketball games and a host of other events. One of the highlights of their early career was being added to the list of performers for the 2001 Rhythm & Rims Charity event tour in L.A. (which was sponsored by the NBA and Reebok), a honor that was magnified by the fact that due to their high level of talent they were the only unsigned act that performed on that tour. After a brief stint performing shows on the Houston club scene, the trio decided to part ways in 2003. Following the split, Bobby and Tate decided to move away from the name Intense and reemerge as a duo under a new name that encapsulates everything about their style, their vocal talent, and their dreams. Arenbe represents their entire vision and continuous efforts of bringing what they call ?feel good music?. Expect a lot of great things and a successful future, because this group is here to stay.Band/artist history

Your musical influences
There are many artists who have made a special impact.. We have to Michael (RIP), because honestly most R&B artists in our generation watched this dude take over the industry single handedly; no contest. He had the total package from vocals to all out performance. Other artists like Marvin Gaye, Teddy P, Otis Redding, Luther Vandross, and the list can go on and on.. New artists like Joe Thomas, Mario, Tank, Jamie..These cats are singing!What equipment do you use?
Two mics bro...Anything else?
Just be on the look out for us. If you like us, stick with us. If not, we still love you... Just means we are not singing what you listen to.Contact
