Steve "Stevo" Thorpe

Born in Boston, Massachusetts "Richie Rich" is a homegrown singer, songwriter, and entertainer who has been in the entertainment business for over thirty-five years. He was introduced to the soulful sounds of Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and many of the Gospel, Funk, and R&B legends that graced the radio and turntables during the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's. At the age of 11 he attended the New England Conservatory of music studying Piano.  Richie says "Meeting Duke Ellington, when I was thirteen years old and getting the opportunity to tell him about my love for music and singing was a golden moment for me. Mr. Ellington told me not to let anyone ever talk me out of my dreams."

Born in Boston, Massachusetts (under the sign of Capricorn) "Stevo", or "the man with four hands" is the bands keyboard/bass player (hence the man with four hands).  If you don't listen carefully you are liable to hear any sound coming from his side of the stage.  He has been with 24kt Funk ever since.  "Stevo" has also worked with and toured along side of famous acts like New Edition, The System, Lakeside, Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five and the Blue Notes.  "Stevo" says he was inspired by Prince, James Brown and Sly & The Family Stone.

Michael Reid

Wayne Jones

His natural ability is evident and his style of play is a combination of this natural talent and 'know-how'. Michael can make you jump out of your seat with his Funk and R&B riffs or make you swoon with his smooth/contemporary Jazz playing.  Either way it goes we know that once you hear Michael play you'll agree that he is one of if not 'THE' best drummers you will ever have the honor to experience.
