FatheR BrotheR Sun, also known as FRBRS or FBS, is an 11 piece band with three main vocalists, and a horn and rhythm section. They are a wonderful fusion of funk, hip hop, r & b, rock, and soul music. The band was forged together by band leader Atiim Chenzira, highlighting the vocals of Chloe Jean, Chenzira, and Ali Hammad. These vocalists bring a diverse range of original compositions to every show.  FBS also re-interprets cover material, bringing a sound reminiscent of Sly & The Family Stone, and Tower of Power, among others, to the stage. Their stage presence is magnetic, and energetic, soulful, and captivating.  

FRBRS began playing around the Bay Area in early 2014 to support Atiim Chenzira's newest body of work, 'Aspectz Of Me: (Vol. A & B)', a double album of 22 tracks.  Later in the year, Chloe Jean released her newest album, titled 'Freak', and the band has been incorporating this body of work into their live shows. In late 2014, FRBRS entered Skyline Studios in Oakland to record live versions of Chloe Jean's, and Atiim's original songs, as well as Ali Hammad's latest single, 'Sang.'  FRBRS also recordeda few cover tunes, preparing for more live performances in 2015.
