One dream. One chance. One crew. When the conversation turns to musical influences, not many groups are likely to mention Michael Buble, Beethoven, Stevie Wonder and flamenco music in the same breath. But it’s the diversity in what inspires them, not to mention their distinctive faith backgrounds that makes new Fervent artist Group 1 Crew stand out in a crowd. And if their unique hybrid of hip-hop, rock, funk and soul wasn’t enough to distinguish Group 1 Crew, their passionate message of hope and encouragement can’t help but set them apart—especially in a genre of music that typically glamorizes violence, the degradation of women and the acquisition of all the luxuries money can buy.

Group 1 Crew’s Manwell, Pablo and Blanca have teamed together for one unified purpose. Unlike many popular groups where members individually vie for the spotlight, Group 1 Crew even wanted its name to have a singular message that communicates the band’s desire to shine the love of Christ through the power of song.

If there’s one thing for sure about Group 1 Crew, it’s not like anything you’ve heard before whether it’s the dancehall groove of "Clap Ya Hands," the funk-laden opener "Love is a Beautiful Thing" or the candid account of reaching out for God, the group addresses in "Forgive Me." Ultimately, Group 1 Crew hopes, too, that even people who don’t normally attend church will easily be able to identify the hope in Jesus that has personally changed each band member’s life.
