For every era in music there have been Girl Groups that encompassed the spirit of the time: the classic girl-next-door sultriness of the Supremes; the glamorous and fashion forward boldness of LaBelle; the New Jack sexiness of En Vogue; the B-Girl allure of TLC; the unapologetic over-the-topness of the Spice Girls; and the fearless independence of Destiny’s Child. And now, stepping up to claim their place amongst these legendary groups, is Sincerely XO.

JLa, Vii and Jaz took very different roads to Atlanta and it’s burgeoning music scene. But circumstance brought all three girls and their families to Atlanta, GA, the hotbed of talent discovery. The girls were each pursuing non-conventional interests - none of them had a typical college major/ career/ life plan mapped out – when fate stepped in and forever altered their course.

Two Atlanta music insiders were putting together a group of two singers and a rapper called the Yes Ma’ams. They envisioned an updated version of Vanity Six; glam, sex, mystery and intrigue. After fruitless auditions, they started reaching out to women they knew, and between the two of them thought of JLa, Vii and Jaz, who were all already on the scene in Atlanta in their own right. All three ladies agree that the chemistry was instant, and the bond between them was solid.

While the overall vibe with the new group and management was good, they couldn’t reach an agreement on contract terms, and Jaz’s mother Stephania Shine stepped up to manage the group. The trio shed their Yes Ma’am monikers of Secret (JLa), Privacy (Vii) and Slander (Jaz), and put together a new vision – their vision - of who and what they wanted to be. “We want to be a household name,” says JLa. The ladies decided on the name Sincerely XO; a promise to fans that they were now getting the ladies’ genuine, sincere selves. Along with Atlanta-based hit maker Verse Simmonds, SXO has been working on telling familiar, relatable stories through music: love, life, and heartbreak. But more than anything else? “Our music is about having fun!” exclaims Vii, echoing the sentiment of her group mates. And indeed the girls emit a playful, flirty and fun vibe that makes anyone want to get to know more about them. “Sincerely XO is a special group. On site you fall in love with them,” says Simmonds. “They are exactly what the music industry has been missing in a girl group. I can’t wait for the world to get to know them.”

SXO is indeed ready to take the world by storm, but they don’t shy away from comparisons of the groundbreaking girl groups that preceded them. “We accept (the comparisons),” explains Jaz, “but are going to show how we’re different. We’re all building off of someone who came before us.”

Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Artist Derek Williamz aka DaVinci Willz paints a picture so vivid using only the sound of his voice and music behind it. Brought up by his mother and father around a variety of Genres, he has formed art to mimic life. While growing up his father exposed him to rhythmic formats such as pop and woldbeat while at the same time expanding not only his cultural awareness but maturing his musical diversity. Towards Williamz' later years throughout high school he began to write his own rhymes after witnessing a live performance at a local community event. Through the influences of Cassidy, Derek Williamz began to perfect his rhythmic touch and suave approach and finally had success with the release of, "Hello", a club single co-written by DaVinci. With club rotation in effect as well as a radio spot for the single a foundation began to build. 2012 began for Derek as a reviving point in his musical career with him focusing more on his individual efforts and ended with him back on stage at over 6 featured live performances. Derek continued to show that versatility in 2013 even still with the recent release of the debut mixtape, “Fourth Quarter: Fashionably Late" featuring major music production from producer Kouley and Mixing by Muhnee OnDa Track. He ended of the year as an opening act for major Hip Hop headliner Juicy J and showing off his stage performing skills. Williamz recently has gained momentum with his latest release and visual for “Star” also produced by Kouley. Under the group Definite Legends Conglomerate, DaVinci paints the perfect picture.

Duplin County, North Carolina bred an ambitious and authentic storyteller in hip-hop artist, G$. As a child, Gary Montgomery was both academically and athletically inclined. Although a budding future in sports brewed from a young age, his passion for music simmered slowly until in his teenage years. With the influence of his older cousins and a gradual cultivation for a desire to perfect his craft, Gary was destined to showcase his natural talent for freestyling. Lyrics flowed from his mouth with ease, and he haphazardly became known throughout the town as rapper G$.

In its infancy, G$’s career began in a group with his cousin, Pook Nado, known as the Young Bucks. The dynamic duo effortlessly carved their niche in the local underground hip-hop scene. As the pair matured and deviated from their unified mission, G$ diligently pursued a solo career in music, eventually landing a deal with North Carolina-based independent label, 11 Entertainment. Opening for prominent headliners like Rick Ross and Fat Joe generated more buzz, as his name began to ring in the North Carolina underground circuit. His charismatic demeanor allows him to network effortlessly with major artists, as G$ continues to promote his music and evolve his craft.

Creating relatable stories is the motivation behind his music, delving into the lifestyles of listeners with similar mentalities, struggles, and circumstances. His unwavering confidence resonates in his delivery, as he recounts the accounts of his own life. G$ maximizes the opportunity to share his passion and his life with the world through his music, as he embarks on the next chapter of his career as an entertainer, an artist, and a storyteller. Currently collaborating with label mate Marc Law on one project while simultaneously creating music for his own solo album, G$ persistently pursues unyielding success in the music industry, constantly progressing with each project and expanding his brand toward regional and national recognition.
