Raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Sexton began concocting the concept of the Inner City All Stars in 1996, when he arrived at the University of North Texas to study music performance at one of the best jazz programs in the country. Sexton came armed with a clever musical mind, an infectious smile, and a love of the spirited, high-energy marching music of historically black colleges and universities he had grown up with in the Deep South. Sexton’s road to UNT started with a youthful musical intensity. He first picked up a trombone in the 7th grade, but his parents couldn’t afford to buy him the instrument. At an age where most kids would probably lose interest, Sexton merely redoubled his determination, eventually finagling a job selling hot dogs and soft drinks at the Alabama A&M football stadium, even though he was grossly underage so that he could buy the horn himself. “I probably shouldn’t be talking about it,” he says, with a laugh, of his stint at the stadium, “since it’s illegal!” Alabama A&M is also where the marching bands caught his eye. Like many other African-American Birmingham denizens, Sexton made sure to attend the annual Alabama State –Alabama A&M football game –a contest perhaps more popular for its halftime battle of the bands than for the game itself. “People would stand in lines for hours, just to hear them play for a few minutes,” he says of the raucous bands, still a bit in awe. “The bands just brought so much energy up front and I really liked that.”
At UNT, Sexton fell under the spell of a wide variety of musical styles, including funk, world music (you’ll note much of ICA’s repertoire contains nods to salsa, reggae, and other genres), and a wide variety of jazz. From this mix of influences, the concept for Inner City began to take shape. 
But it wasn’t quite time: For several financially strapped years, Calvin left his studies behind and moved to California, playing backup and freelance with a variety of bands, and worked on cruise ships.  he returned to North Texas to complete his degree and formed the band soon after, with music students from the school. Since that time, many of the original All Stars musicians have moved on, playing with other bands or pursuing other interests, and new members have joined, bringing fresh ideals, great attitudes, influences, and a unique approach to the music.
