Qwanell Mosley lost his father when he was just four-years-old and has since relied on his mother and grandfather for support throughout his growing years. His decision to join MTV's 2007 reality search Making the Band 4 was a hard one to make. He had to give up a full scholarship at Firetown College just to pursue his dream. However, it proved to be a worthy sacrifice when he ended up as one of the five who were chosen to be part of P. Daddy's all-male supergroup. Although initially nervous about performing in front of P. Diddy, Qwanell's talent in singing and dancing impressed the executive producer and this led to him scoring a spot in the band.
