BIO
It's All About the Music
This triad of well rounded, unlimited Musicians/Artists
who make up the musical group Something Special, have been creating music together for a little under ten years.
While gigging together with various Artists throughout the years, Christiana, JJ & Freddie B came together with other musicians on March 19, 2008, for a special surprise concert. After their performance, this group of musicians realized together they had Something Special in their collective sound.
This was the birth of what the world will now know as Something Special.
Coming together, creating together and remaining together through all of the ups and downs, not only is the music special, but also the message in the music.
Realizing the devastation of the innovation of music as they've known it, and remembering how music lead the way through the times. Creating songs for every situation a person may be facing in day to day life. These three purposeful musicians decided to always KEEP THE MUSIC REAL. With a message of Hope and Inspiration. For all listeners to know:
You Are Not Alone and You Are Definitely Something Special.
ENJOY THE RIDE!!!
