Little Richard said "Rhythm & Blues had a baby and they named it "rock n' roll"; this is a very appropriate description of Blackheadz' music. Blackheadz is not just another "black" rock band. They are simply a rock n roll band that happens to be black and incorporate their heritage into their music. Blackheadz use funk, rock, blues, jazz, punk, and gospel into their music. Blackheadz comes at you with such a great level of intensity; you can't help but want more.
Blackheadz is a band compiled of four individual musicians united in a common cause to represent the realness of original music and to express the true essence of Rock-n-Roll. With a motto like, “Rock, Punk-n-Roll and a lot of Fuckin Soul,” Blackheadz display what it means to express themselves genuinely and to not be cookie cutter musicians.
The way Blackheadz came together in 2004 was very natural. They were four Rockers that happened to be friends and come to the same conclusion at the same time. That conclusion was to find likeminded individuals to form a band that would take over the world.
