“A rock show that gives you a reason to dance,” this is what 7LIONS, the newest band signed to superstar producer RedOne’s label 2101 Records, brings to it’s fans. This Los Angeles based aggregation reveals a potent merger of rock and hiphop like it’s never been done before. The difference between 7LIONS and the pioneers before them is the fusion of the urban hip-hop poetry from their rapper Mika “Prophet” Guillory, the alternative rock influences of their lead singer/guitarist Forrest Fulmer and the electronic/pop/rock production of their keyboardist Morgan Taylor Reid; diverse musical backgrounds that create an explosive, epic sound. A tight knit group, 7LIONS also includes band members Will Carpenter (Lead Guitar/Back-Up Vox), Daniel Hange (Bass) and Tony Tommasi (Drums). The evolutionary three-year journey of this band began when a mutual friend introduced Prophet and Fulmer at a live performance of Omission, Fulmer, Carpenter and Tommasi’s band at the time. Prophet, who became a regular guest performer in Omission’s live set, vibed so well with the group that they started a new project together called Terra Incognita. The blend of alternative rock with hip hop vocals proved to be a winning combination with nightclub patrons, so Terra Incognita began performing across Los Angeles. Six months into the Terra Incognita project, Fulmer reconnected with longtime friend, songwriter and record producer Morgan Taylor Reid and invited him to become involved as the band’s keyboardist. Reid brought electronic/pop elements to the rock/rap band and he eventually co-wrote and produced a song called “Born To Run” for 7LIONS that would change the direction of the band’s sound forever.
