Enter the Juggernaut! Founded by frontman Qaasim "DRK" Middleton (American Idol, Naked Brothers Band, HBO’s Music In Me, Netflix’s “The Get Down, FX “Atlanta”) Juggernaut War Party is quite a collective, consisting of Qaasim, (lead vocals, guitar), his brother Khalil (vocals, MPC), lead guitarist Joseph Deadwiley, drummer Andres Valbuena, keyboardists Jack Gruber, Tyjhai Stephens and Francisco Haye, with Micheal Decena and Paul Johnson on bass.
You may remember Qaasim from his awesome run on American Idol Season 14, when he performed with Chris Brown and Pitbull and was lavished with praise from J-Lo, Harry Connick Jr. & Keith Urban. However, after returning from Idol, The Juggernaut War Party concept was birthed at AFROPUNK BATTLE OF THE BANDS BROOKLYN, in May 2015, when Qaasim and his bandmates entered and played the contest to showcase their skills and original Funk/Rock/Hip-Hop/Soul fusion material. This group will absolutely delight you with music that will touch your heart and soul. Look out for the rise of The Juggernaut War Party.
