Futhamuckas

The Futhamuckas is a group that consists of three men who are all carving their own path to the top of the music industry. Coming from multiple backgrounds and different parts of the United States, these three convened in Los Angeles to take on their musical dreams as a trio, but they all did not take the same path to get there. Here is a little information on how the Futhamuckas came to be.

Nick Baga, aka BAGA, grew up in Boston, MA and attended the Gold School of dance during his youth. Though trained as a dancer, his lyrical talents were first exhibited doing freestyles at school, not taking it too seriously just freestyling for fun. For BAGA, dance was the medium that got him into the fields that he wanted to. His dancing credits include ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance?, as well as numerous spots in musical tours with artists like Jessica Simpson, Ricky Martin, and The Veronicas. He moved to Los Angeles in 2002 and his talents landed him on the silver screen, playing the role of Sketch in Hairspray the feature film. Though his role in Hairspray was pivotal in his career, what he is most recognized for is his role in Taco Bell’s Drive-Thru rap commercial. Baga has finally paid his dues and the Futhamackas are his way to step out and take the foreground.

Craig Hollamon, aka Little Brother, was raised in Saint Louis Missouri and was trained in dance from an early age. The only thing that is parallel to his love for dance and performance is his love for partying, which is evident in the Futhamuckas on-stage performances. His influences are music, art, and fashion and those three things have taken him to amazing heights as a performer. Through his dancing, he has worked with artists like Ne-Yo, Pussycat Dolls, The Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Gwen Stefani, and Usher and companies like Adidas and Playstation. His talents landed him on the silver screen as well, with a role in the movie Dreamgirls.

Jason Duncan, aka J2Z, is the founding member of the Futhamuckas from Denver, Colorado. He has been seeing his name in lights from an early age, and developed the passion for music and dance that would one day get him there. He is a trained professional dancer landing him with the likes of P. Diddy, Kanye West, and Miley Cyrus. He went from buying music to making music and his appreciation for the industry, as well as the experiences of Baga and Little Brother, gelled to form the super group the FUTHAMUCKAS!!
