Naturally Seven weaves individual vocal strengths and musicianship into a mosaic of harmonies to create music that can withstand the test of time; from acappella tempos to a slow love groove!
Formed in NYC back in 1999, internationally acclaimed Naturally Seven (otherwise known as N7) are comprised of Roger "N..glish" Thomas (1st Baritone, Rap) Dwight Stewart (2nd Baritone), Rod Eldridge (1st Tenor, Scratching, Trumpet), Garfield Buckley (2nd Tenor, Harmonica), Jamal Reed (4th Tenor), Armand Hutton (Bass), and Warren Thomas (Percussion, Guitar, 3rd Tenor); and began as an acappella group evolving their style into what they call "Vocal Play"; a style of singing that differs from the traditional "acappella" sound of singing without instruments.
In 2003, Naturally 7 released its debut on SONY/BMl entitled ’What Is It?’. Their single, "Music is the Key" (a duet with German superstar Sarah Connor) went to 1 on the German charts. Following the success of ’What Is It?’ the band continued working and developing Vocal Play. Their discography includes releases such as ’Non Fiction’, ’Christmas—Its a Love Story’, ’Naturally 7 Live in ..Berlin’ and now they are "Ready II Fly", the title of the band’s latest cd. The first single "Feel It (In the Air Tonight)" topped the charts; and once again, Naturally 7 has found themselves at 1.
The members’ musical influences vary in the range which include Sting, Simon & Garfunkel, The Jacksons, James Brown, The Beatles, Sly and The Family Stone, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Céline Dion, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, James Ingram, Teddy Pendergrass, Wyclef Jean, Earth, Wind & Fire, Take 6, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, Luther Vandross, Kim Burrell, Noelette Leader, Quincy Jones, Burt Bacharach, The Winans family, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald and Moses Hogan.
The band is currently embarking on a world tour beginning in the USA!
