The Crossovah movement began when the now inseparable friends met in High School in Florida. Ricardo Drue of Trinidad joined voices with Christopher ‘Criss’ Grant of Jamaica, later adding Joshua ‘J-Rah’ Jenkins of Barbados and Dave “Kupid” Richards of Antigua. They are what male vocal groups aspire to; amazing performers, incredible vocalists, phenomenal dancers, accomplished writers. A whole that is much bigger that the sum of it’s parts. In addition to their amazing vocal and writing ability, the groups’ harmonies are without doubt a true testament to their talent. The harmonies of an ‘old school’ R& B crooner, breathing new life to already blazing urban and island beats
