Double Intent
Double Intent just may be the hardest working high school band around. Their unique sound combines a tight and solid rhythm section with vocals from Yayné McDowell, whose smooth R&B voice harmonizes perfectly with Jaime Gilbert’s husky vocals and creative rapping.
Double Intent practices once or twice every week and when not honing their sound, they are working on new material or performing at gigs.
Avoiding the covers route, they have, ever since they joined forces over a year ago, written their own material, and have a growing list of over a dozen original songs, that are being refined and expanded all the time.
They love nothing more than hanging out together working on their latest song, but performing for a crowd gives them a real buzz and is core reason they got together. Each band member is a committed musician in their own right, and the songs they create are done as a collaboration within the band.
Double Intent is tight both on and off the stage, and this friendship shows in the energy and spontaneity that erupts on stage.
