As a child growing up, MPiece was mostly influenced by groups like "New Edition",
"Grandmaster Flash", "Curtis Blow", "Keith Sweat", "Musical Youth",to mention a
few. At a very tender age he founded the group "Classics" alongside with two other
members, which was the beginning of his musical career.

Soon afterwards MPiece moved to the States to pursue his education with music
still on his mind!He did a lot of studio sessions working alongside famous artists in
the likes of Prince, 2 Low 4 Zero, Racquet etc. In the States he founded the group
"L-Zone", which stands for Lagos-Zone and also a special style of singing, which
was called the "LZ Passi".

Afterwards MPiece went back to London where he fully concentrated on the group

periods and clubs! On this occasion L-Zone met Chris Flanger who invited them
to Germany to work with him on a project!

Label BMG Hansa as "Chill Out feat. L-Zone". The Maxi CD "Get Down On It" was
released on February 1999 with a video concept which enjoyed airplays and hit
the Jam FM top 40! The group also had a couple of TV shows on "Giga" (NBC) and
