We had a fun shoot and got some good images out of that session. Well, earlier this month they asked if I could shoot some concert shots of them at their first big gig with a “name” act, opening for E-40.

I was amazed at how far they have gotten in such a short amount of time. When we first met them, they knew nothing of the business. Ya, they’re talented at what they do: they got some good beats (listen for yourself). But, more than that, they’re hungry and they hustle. Zealous tells me that a lot of their free time is spent selling tickets to their shows. And, through networking with other people in the biz, they’ve managed to make contacts with promoters and producers, people who would be able to help them move their music. They’re going to be playing at some shows in L.A. in the near future, and they hope to be shooting a new video this year. In early May, they’ll be opening for Too Short. Successful entrepreneurship: it’s a beautiful thing…

Here’s Zealous and his beautiful wife, Jeanette.
