Big Brovaz
Encyclopedia
Big Brovaz were an R&B / Hip hop
music group from London
, England
in their seven year career they released two studio albums and eight singles. There were three line up changes with two of the original members leaving half way through shaking up the dynamics of the group. In 2006 the popularity of the group was at a low point due to bad press and the only two female members launching their own band Booty Luv
which was taking off. After their second album failed to chart and with low sales of their last two singles, the band split up in 2007.

; won the MOBO best unsigned artist in 2000), Dion, Nadia (born in Reading
) and three men, J-Rock (real name John Paul Horsley, born in Washington DC), Flawless (real name Tayo Aisida, born in Lagos, Nigeria) and Randy, plus two producers Skillz, also known as JJC
(real name Abdul Bello, born in Kano, Nigeria), who also manages his group 419 squad, and Fingaz. The group was often referred to as a softer version of the So Solid Crew
.
The group was brought together by Fingaz, one of the collective's producers, who already worked under the title "Big Brovaz". The "Big Brovaz" team asked the individual members to showcase their talent alongside underground London R&B and hip hop artists on a compilation that was being put together, entitled "Big Brovaz - Watching You". On the album, rather than giving each member an individual track, the producers decided to make the artists work together and perform on the same tracks. The chemistry between all of the members developed and so the Big Brovaz compilation album in fact became the group.
The "Big Brovaz - Watching You" compilation was a highly successful underground release and sold over two thousand copies. The live shows to promote the release built up the reputation of the producers and artists on the record.
A track from the album which featured west London R&B singer Cherise was picked up by the organizer of the annual MOBO
award and she was asked to compete in the annual Mobo Unsigned talent competition, walking away with first prize. Cherise was signed and later release her own solo album. Following this, the group was picked up by Sony records.
Female member Cherise released a solo album "Look Inside" before the debut album from Big Brovaz was released. It only spawned one single, however, "2nd Best", while the album won a MOBO award.
" became a huge hit all over Europe
, particularly in the UK, where it made the top 3, spending over four months inside the top 75. Their debut album of the same name was released on 4 November 2002 to rave reviews. This single has recently been covered in 2006 in a UK Halifax TV advertisement.
The group's success continued into 2003 with the release of further singles from their debut album. The group's second single, "OK" made Number 7 in the UK singles chart
prompting a re-release of the album with a re-ordered track listing and new tracks on 10 February 2003. However, the album was re-issued yet again one month later, on 24 March 2003, with another re-ordered track listing and a new track entitled "Favourite Things". This song became the group's third single and was famous for sampling the song "My Favourite Things
" from the musical The Sound Of Music
. As well as their own interpretation of the classic song, the group decided to include a cover of the original as a hidden bonus track on version three of "Nu Flow". "Favourite Things" became the group's biggest highest peaking hit to date, peaking at Number 2 in the UK singles chart and spending 3 weeks inside the top 3 of the singles chart
The fourth single taken from the album was "Baby Boy". The music video for the single was famous for being inspired by the extremely popular sitcom Friends
. "Baby Boy" became the group's fourth top 10 hit in a row, peaking at Number 4 in the UK singles chart. The fifth single from the album, "Ain't What You Do", which sampled Fun Boy Three
and Bananarama
's collaboration It Ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It) was the group's fifth top 15 hit, peaking at Number 15.
The group's debut album was certified platinum in the UK, a great achievement for UK R&B and hip hop.
The group next appeared on-screen in the 2004 film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
, in which they performed a version of Sly & the Family Stone
's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
" and was featured on the Soundtrack. They also released the single "We Wanna Thank You (The Things You Do)" as the theme song from the movie in April 2004. Unfortunately this was the collective's smallest hit to date, peaking at a disappointing Number 17 in the UK singles charts. To add to this disappointment, rapper Flawless (Temi Tayo Aisida) was stopped at LAX airport and was found to be smuggling over 2.2 grams (0.07 ounces) of Cannabis into the UK. This resulted in his sacking from the group in 2004, leaving the remaining 5 group members and two producers to carry on without him.
After the disappointing news of being dropped, the group decided to call it a day, split up and pursued solo ventures. The girls from the group were rumoured to be creating a group called "Little Sistaz" but the group never materialised. The group had gone into relative obscurity as they had disappeared from the commercial hip-hop scene.
In 2006, an announcement on their official website messageboard was made by group member Randy confirming that the group had re-united but as a four-piece. The re-formed group now consisted of Nadia, Cherise, J-Rock and Randy, losing Dion. Dion had many arguments, mainly disagreeing with the other girls in the group, Nadia and Cherise. This resulted in Dion's departure. Dion is now the musician in residence at Sedgehill School in South London.

webpage confirmed that a new single would be released 24 April entitled "Hangin' Around". "Hangin' Around" became the group's lowest charting hit to date, peaking outside the UK top 40. However, despite this setback, the group continued and they announced that their second album "Re-Entry" (originally due for a May release) would finally be released in early 2007. The third single from the album (as "Yours Fatally" was to be included), confirmed as "Big Bro Thang", was announced to have a release before the album. The song won the fan's voting poll vote on their official website and due to popular demand, was picked as the third single.
The single "Big Bro Thang" was released with six remixes launching on the iTunes
website between 26 February 2007 and 19 March 2007 with the album Re-Entry finally released on 9 April 2007. In an interview with online magazine Popjustice
