"Music should make you feel good.” That’s Howard McMahon II’s motto. The Dayton, Ohio native was raised in the church and surrounded by great music and musicians. His father first recognized his love for music when Howard was only six years old. He quickly developed a love and talent for piano, organ and drums and later learned bass guitar as well. His focus has always been on making “feel good music” and his passion is evident to anyone who has ever seen him play in person.


Josh Hudson’s story begins in Richmond, Indiana where he would pick out the melody to his favorite nursery rhymes on the piano at five years old. He picked up his first bass guitar at six years old and has not put it down since. Josh learned the trade of music engineering from working with his dad at his sound company and has since held multiple positions in sound engineering for other companies and individual artists as well.  Josh and Howard first met at Howard’s home church where they both played in the band as teenagers.


As traveling musicians, producers, and engineers, the duo has worked with several nationally known artists as well as local talents and they have covered a wide array of genres as well. Some artists that they have either played with, produced for or both include the Dove Award winner and Grammy nominated Ricardo Sanchez, Shawn McDonald, Soul Train Music Award nominee Tony Terry, Alabama Capital, Adam Cappa, Jeremy Ashida, David Story, Isaiah Templeton, Kelsie Skaggs, the In His Presence Gospel Choir, CoachNcredible, Robert Sanae, Emmanuel Jones, Candace Bryant, Joe McFaddin, Kevin Carter and many more.

 
With inspirations from the classics Prince and Michael Jackson as well as Timbaland, Louis “Thunder Thumbs” Johnson, George Duke, Greg Howe, Aaron Lindsey and James Wafer, Howard and Josh’s style of playing and production is rich, diverse, unique and inspiring. "Wrong notes are forgivable. But not moving your audience? You OWE that to your audience. That is your responsibility."
