AATW Artist Profile | Updated: 6th Aug 2008 | Viewed: 24200 Times

Mobo award winning N-Dubz have found a new home with AATW. Hailing from Camden in South London the trio's music has variably been described as hip-hop, garage and RnB but their style is pretty unique, blending traditional song structure and inspired lyrics with distinctly urban elements and influences.

The groups most popular tracks to date have been I Swear, which was the first single to gain widespread mainstream attention, Feva Las Vegas followed, charting at #57 in the UK singles chart and the last single was You Better Not Waste My Time, which saw the band achieve their highest placing yet in the UK chart at #26.

Their new track Ouch is the first to be released through AATW and the release is currently penned in for early September though it is already building a massive following, initially on the net and now also on the TV.

N-Dubz were formed eight years ago when Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer, met and joined up whilst still at school though Dappy and Tulisa are also cousins. Appearances on Channel 4's Dubplate Drama ensued along with mainstream recognition which culminated in them winning the best newcomer award at last years Mobo awards. Here's a bit more about the group in their own words:

You’ve heard of us, even if you don’t know it yet. Remember that boy driving you mad every morning on the No.42? The one playing music on his mobile at full volume? He’s listening to our music. So is his sister, his best mate, his best mates older brother and his teacher.

Throughout our career we’ve strived to become masters of the melody, kings of the chorus and rulers of the adlib, simply put we balance straight-up pop smashes with a street smart style and our musics for everyone.

“We make songs for your mum, your dad and your nan"

Three years ago we were practically unknown but through hard work and perserverence we’ve cultivated a wide and loyal fanbase and now all across the country people know us by our signature catchphrases of ‘Na-na-niiii’, ‘Ha ha, ha ha, and ‘Its N-Dubz (N-Dubz) WHAT!’ as well as our love of eye catching head wear. It feels like its our time now and our growing fan base seems hungry to hear more.

We know its rare to come across a group you totally believe in and there are a lot of good acts in the UK, but great ones?.. not so many, but we definitely aim to change that...
