Biography:

FatHeR BrotHeR Sun is a band formed out of mixed musical interests and a continued support for Atiim Chenzira's Music. This band has come out of  various incarnations; from FRENDZ (2005), to SupaFRENDZ (06'), to then splitting musical genre sounds and becoming the Funk inspired Hip Hop band Bomani Musik (08'), and the Rock inspired Soul band Dragon Spit 22, to the now consolidated FHRBHRS. Much like the lead singer, Atiim Chenzira, these projects have had a great deal of personality, and time to find the right sound.  FatHeR BrotHeR Sun (FHRBHRS) has finally arrived! With the Jimi Hendrix reminiscent guitar of Kenji Matsui, and the Funk Bass licks of Oscar Urcuyo, who have been in many band versions since 2005, to the new blood of Alpha Lewis (son of  the great Aura Lewis), who holds the drum sticks and keeps the pocket filled.

FatHeR BrotHeR Sun is a serious band. With the support vocals of Chloe Jean, Kamilah Shuaibe, and Ali Hammad, they are set. However, the word is, they are seeking a full time keys player, and a horn section, so stay tuned, for this band is still evolving, and ready to blow your socks off.
