B5

The Breeding brothers of St. Petersburg, Florida recorded as TNT Boyz and then Audio before Bad Boy signed them as B5, an R&B group built on family harmony.

B5 is family music done right: the Breeding brothers, St. Petersburg roots and Atlanta shine, singing teen R&B that sounded effortless because they could really sing. They came up as TNT Boyz, became Audio, then took the name B5 when it was time to go national.

Bad Boy signed brothers because a family blend is something no studio trick can fake. The self-titled B5 album and Don’t Talk, Just Listen brought radio-friendly records and live-show energy.

B5 showed the label could do sweet and still keep it cool.
