HOOK is a vocal duo that has created a sound they call "Doo-Wop-Hip-Hop". It blends elements of classic R&B/Soul together with today's Urban/Hip-Hop to create a unique musical style. The singers Keoni and Teddy produce rich melodies, warmly enveloping vocals, and natural instrumental textures. Their songs bring forth a message of love and positive energy that every music lover can embrace. HOOK has drawn a legion of fans who find themselves not only entertained, but encouraged, warmed, and even changed by their music.

'' KEONI '' is Black, Hawaiian, and Portuguese-Spanish. Keoni was born in North Carolina and grew up singing in Church. Keoni says '' Our records are simply our lives put to music . I want to find the simplest phrase that everyone says, no matter what language you speak . I believe a hit song is one that is rendered with great craft, and conveys simple ideals that are heartfelt, and resonate with listeners of any age or nationality.

'' TEDDY '' was born in Brooklyn, NY into a musically gifted and affluent family. Absorbing the musical attitudes of his family since birth and being surrounded by accomplished siblings, he was able to expand his grasp and love of music. Receiving a scholarship to further his education in music and the performing arts, he has managed to establish himself as a great vocal arranger and songwriter. Teddy says. '' Music helps me relax and regroup for whatever life has in store for me. This album really gave us a chance to express ourselves and reflect a li'l more on our lives. Take our new song ''Clear'', for instance. The sounds on this record are a mix of music I grew up with as well as music I've been involved with in the past couple of years. These songs are our stories, and the people who collaborated with us are not only my friends but they are like family. I am very fortunate to complete a project like this that is so rewarding on so many levels.''

The new album from HOOK, ' Club R&B '', is produced by Sean "Barney" Thomas, a virtuoso musician and producer who is behind many well known hits in R&B and Hip-Hop. The album will be released later this year, supported by exciting stage performances with their live band. There's no doubt that HOOK will be around for a long time . They are bringing back music artistry as it should be, and they are true contenders in the music business!!
