In the sexy quartet of 112, there is so much talent. The talent lies deep in these four gentlemen.......Q(Quinnes Damond Parker), Mike(Michael Marcel Keith), Slim(Marvin E. Scandrick III), and Daron(Daron Tavaris Jones).
This chart topping group have had a passion for music since they could remember. They have known each other throughout elementary, middle school and even high school. It all started while singing in the tennor section of Atlanta's Walter F. George High School. "A teacher picked us four to sing at a school coronation," says Q. "We became a group by mistake. Afterwards somebody asked to do a talent show." They decided to start a singing group called "Forte", and made sure they performed at talent shows, and sing as a group in church. By performing at these talent shows, they gained a lot of attention with their mellow voices and the ability to sound as one. That's when they gaind the attention of their present managers, Courtney Sills and Kevin Wales who introduced them to Sean "P Diddy" Combs at a local Atlanta night club called 112. Thats is no doubt on how they got their name. At the blink of an eye they found themselves in New York recording their very first album.
Summer of 1996, 112 released their first single "Only You" wich topped the charts in no time, and right after came the remix that featured MA$E(his debute) and the Notorious BIG that also had this group in the spot light. "112", their selftitled album was released in 1996 wich reached gold status in the first week(and is right now multi-platinum). Other hot singles released fromthat album were "Cupid" and "Come See Me" that got repeated airplay. They started touring all over and even been requested by Ron Isley to be the Isley Brother's opening act.
Their sophomore album "Room 112" came out early november of 1998. This album has so much in it from slow jams to songs that make you want to hit the club scene. On this album 112 has came out not to only show their singing abilities but also their ability to write as artist. On this album they have written and produced almost half of the album themselves. 112 new they had to do it again with their third album PartIII. This album had many people talking about their hot bangers "Peaches & Cream" and "Its Over Now". The new disk "Hot & Wet" is their latest album soon to be released.
