B5 is an R&B boy band originating from St. Petersburg, Florida and later relocating to Atlanta, Georgia. The group consists of Dustin, Kelly, Patrick, Carnell and Bryan Breeding. They were formerly known as the TNT Boyz featuring only the four eldest brothers, but renamed themselves B5 when Bryan, the youngest brother, joined the group.^[1]

Career

B5 competed a lot of competitions, winning most of them, including shows by Radio Disney. Jim McMahan, the manager of JAMM Entertainment Group, said he immediately saw the group's potential when they were presented to him by one of his associates. The group continued to do shows and perform with artists such as Mario Winans, Kanye West, Ginuwine, Usher, Fantasia, Bow Wow, Joe, amongst others, and performed for Albert II, Prince of Monaco.^[1]

B5 (2004—2005)

P. Diddy pulled out some of the top producers in the business to work on B5's self-titled debut album, B5. Among the producers were Rodney Jerkins, Ryan Leslie, Sean Garrett, Corna Boyz, Veit Renn and P. Diddy himself.^[1]

The lead single, "All I Do", originally recorded by The Jackson 5 and covered by Troop, was the suggested song to them by Jerkins and they recorded it without hearing either of the other two versions. Patrick acknowledges that their version is more reminiscent of the Troop cover than the original.^[1]

Don't Talk, Just Listen (2006-2007)

B5 was working on their sophomore album Don't Talk, Just Listen. Their second album was released on September 11, 2007. It was their last album to work with Sean Combs.

After Leaving Bad Boy Records

Due to the lack of promotion of their second album and their second single, B5 was out of their contract with Sean Combs. Their second album did not get a lot of promotion.
