Both Born into a family of musicians, singers, and songwriters, these two producers (blood cousins) come together to create a midwest sound strictly for the top of the charts. These two are hungry, talented individuals and are more than ready to earn their respect in the music industry, quietly or by force. But their is no Top Shelf without Breez and vice versa. Their talents compliment each other to form perfection. Breez a guitarist/ artist for over 10 years, Leroy a producer/ artist/ songwriter/ engineer for 8 years, unite with a vow to take the next song where the last song didn't go. Coming from a background that involves Church, Jazz, Funk, R&B, and Rap. Raised in an area where they were surrounded by the have nots that are plagued by violence and crime, their strength is their soul and versatility. In the year 2002, Leroy and Breez began formulating their sound together. Producers first, they spent countless hours developing the style they know call Top Shelf. Coming from a city where there is small market for producers, in 2005, they made their first CD "Da Feel Good Mix". Where they pressed up and sold over 2,000 records, out of the trunk.
