Singa B and J Webb

Story

Singa B & J.Webb have been friends, band-mates, business partners, & brothers for quite some time. They first met in their hometown of Soulsville USA in Memphis TN, in a band called The 88 bones in 2013. Though the 88 bones predominately performed cover tunes, they were creating a new Memphis sound. In 2015 unfortunately the 88 bones separated due to the piano player joining a tour with a band called Southern Avenue. A few of the remaining members decided to reunite under the band name The Getwells, and began producing & creating new original music. In 2017 The Getwells released their first original studio recording & music video called Thirsty, featuring Singa B & J.Webb. After winning the Memphis’s International Blues Competition in 2018, Singa B & J.Webb decided to take their talents to the west coast in search of better opportunities. In 2019 while performing at a show in downtown Los Angeles, they were invited to perform and to be apart of the BluRoc Records label with Dame Dash, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella. On the way back to Memphis TN, Singa and J.Webb were in a car crash putting J.Webb into a coma. But that didn’t stop them from healing up and returning to their dreams! Now they are in Los Angeles CA, to finish what they first started!
