Fatty Koo is a musical collective comprised of five diverse and multi-talented individuals who stand ready to shake up the urban and pop music scene with an infectious blend of original songs, fresh sounds and vibrant personalities.
The five young stars of Fatty Koo--Eddie B, Gabrielle, Marya, Ron, and Valure--met in Columbus, Ohio, on board the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, where they wrote and recorded several songs and discovered their mutual and uncanny musical chemistry.
They are five real people - with the real pressures of school, family, love, religion, money and sex - who fight and argue about everything except their music.
Working together as one, Fatty Koo created a unique fusion of R&B, hip-hop, Latin, jazz and pop that led them to a record deal with Sony Urban/DAS/Columbia Records.
The groundbreaking urban television network BET caught the Fatty Koo vibe and worked with the group to create a Fatty Koo television series scheduled to debut on April 21, 2005.
The group's first single, "Bounce (Theme Song)," was co-written by Fatty Koo members Eddie B, Gabrielle, Valure, Ron, and Marya. "You got to have the funk," says Eddie when describing the song. "Get your groove on, dance, enjoy life and be yourself baby."
