the band: Three teenagers from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Clarke Isaac, Jordan Taylor and Zachary Walker.

comments: Three Mmmbopping brothers from Tulsa hit the music scene in 1997 and literally blew the world away. This is the story of the talented Isaac, Taylor and Zac. These three boys have been singing acapella since late 1987. Learing the basics from their parents Diana and Walker, they took their music with them while living in Trinidad, Venezuela and Equador and then finally settling in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their upbringing consisted of listening to 50's and 60's tapes and over time writing over 300 songs between them. The time had come in 1992 when they made their first appearance in the public eye at a local music festival called 'Mayfest'. At this stage the boys were aged 6, 9 and 11. In Septmeber 1994 the boys recorded an independant album funded by their parents called 'Boomerang'. Though acapella was challenging they branched out to instruments in 1995. It was that same year that they met their manager Christopher Sebec in Texas. They met him in June while performing their own songs. Later in September the boys, now teamed with Sebec, released their second independant album called 'Mmmbop'. Their continuous public appearances lead them to the signing with Mercury Records after being rejected by 12 other labels. After signing with Mercury in June 1996 the rest as they say, is history.
