Details:
Unified Tribe is an inspired collection of individuals, united through one multidimensional sound that lives to express a common goal. All of the members come from varying musical backgrounds and bring their own distinctive influences to the group. These 13 musicians vary in age and ethnicity and, together, reflect a harmony that is found within diversity. The result is an extremely eclectic sound that has evolved over the years into a perfect blend of its Jazz and R&B roots and a newer Urban Pop flavor.

The highly anticipated second album Mixed Messages contains fifteen songs and will be released in May of 2003. It is a collaboration by the entire Tribe that culminates their experiences, and influences into a single project that is highly reminiscent of the bands New York roots. The record lends itself to the darker chord structures and the more intense R&B, Jazz and Funk sounds that are at the core of the group's style and creative drive. This highly diverse record displays a wide spectrum of emotional and musical settings from song to song. It was this unlikely blend that spawned the album's name, Mixed Messages. There is certainly something for everyone on this album and many of the songs seem to effortlessly bridge the gaps between genres and generations.

Unified Tribe has a striking live show that is as diverse as its performers. They are, "eclectic sound that you can see. " They move about the stage as a flow of electricity that captivates and entertains all in their presence, performing original material both off their debut album, their brand new follow-up album and some never before captured in recording.
