112

Before they were “Missing You,” they were Forte.  The group first met in high school, and decided to blend vocal melodies.  However, as they got older, exchanged some members of the band for others, they met Sean Combs and did an audition for him in front of the Atlanta club 112.

After a second audition, they were signed to the Bad Boy roster and took on the name of the club where they had their first audition.
