Lead Singer Juan Pablo Casillas (23) born in Aguascalientes, Mexico moved to the United States with his Parents and 4 Siblings in Aurora, Colorado at 13 years old. After high school and 1 semester of college in San Diego, JP found himself in Los Angeles (roommates with his older brother & filmmaker Andy) as an aspiring artist and singer while he had already been posting clips on YouTube. Juan Pablo enrolled at the Hollywood campus of Musician's Institute where he met Ismael Cano, Jr. The 2 began to collaborate with the concept of making great music while adding harmony to the world.

Rapper Matt Rey (24) with Parents and younger Sister moved from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Aurora, Colorado when Matt was just 8 years old. During their high school years - Matt and JP would run around in similar crowds from rival high schools when one day by chance they bumped into each other in Hollywood. Matt had moved to LA to begin an acting career enrolling at Stella Adler Academy of Acting. Neither had known that one another had made the move to follow a dream and ultimately become the LOS 5 front men when JP asked Matt to join his musical project.
