Artistry

Influences

The group admires singers such as Michael Jackson, Gary Valenciano, Backstreet Boys, and NSYNC.

"Actually, other boy groups have their own goals and ways that make them unique. We focus more on how we can improve and grow within ourselves because, at the end of the day, our ultimate rival is ourselves. We seek to always be better than ourselves from yesterday. We're sure that the fire within our hearts, minds, and souls that keeps us dreaming and reaching for our goals is one of the strongest forces of being artists that others will ever get to see. We all have this motto that the perfect way to succeed and FLY is by keeping our feet on the ground while having our eyes on the sky. It is an endless devotion and journey for us. What makes us unique is the intensity of the fire within us."
