GROUP 1 CREW

Group 1 Crew was founded when group visionary and veteran emcee, Manwell Reyes, formed a Bible study for local musicians three years ago and united with Pablo Villatoro and Blanca Reyes. The eclectic trio pieced together their diverse styles and created an original sound, fusing their assorted influences of The Black Eyed Peas, Beethoven and The Fugees.

"Our sound is fresh, funky and live," explains Manwell. "We can perform in such a variety of styles-everything from melodic pop to Spanish R&B. We aren't limited to one specific genre."

Even bigger than their music, though, is their compassion for people inside and outside of the church. Manwell continues, "We want our show to be one that everyone can come to and walk away experiencing the love of Christ in a non-threatening way - our music isn't for one specific demographic, it's for anyone with a pulse."

It's no accident that their name takes that vision one step further. Group 1 Crew represents an entity with one purpose, one goal and one ministry: to shine the love of Christ through the power of song. Additionally, Group 1 Crew's call to make music that people can relate to parallel's the spirit of Fervent Records.
