WELL HERE IT GOES. 903BUOY STARTED AS A THREE PIECE SKA OUTFIT. YOUR BASIC GUITAR, BASS, AND DRUMS THING. WE NEEDED A SINGER AND SOME HORNS TO ACTUALLY GET GOING. AFTER ABOUT THREE SINGERS AND 2 BASS PLAYERS, WE WERE ON THE MOVE. THE HORNS CAME AFTER A WHOLE LOT OF PRAYER AND WAITING. NOW WE STARTED WRITING AND GETTING INTO THE WHOLE THING. IT WAS FUN AND TRYING SOMETIMES BUT , PRAYER BROUGHT US THROUGH. SO NOW AFTER 8 MONTHS WERE GOING AFTER IT ALMOST FULL BOAR.

B.J. is our lead singer. He also plays guitar. He does some pretty cool solos in some of our songs such as La Quinta and B.J.'s Song. He didn't know much about ska until he joined our band. However, he is doing a great job as our singer. B.J. has attended many colleges: Texas A&M, Baylor, and San Jac. He likes to play soccer.
