Innate Forte

The story began in May 2003…three brothers driven by an unbreakable determination ventured on a journey, which unbeknown to them would stretch their physical, mental and emotional capabilities to a point of absolute exhaustion. Jareiq Kabara, Ryland Thompson and Shem Gordon committed to an oath before God…to reconstruct all concepts of entertainment…this is the story of Innate Forte.

They began their quest 6,000 miles away from home, leaving London City to arrive in the city that never sleeps, New York. Under their own guidance at the tender age of 16, they fought through many bitter conditions to find themselves at the doorstep of New York’s biggest independent record label, Liquid Fusion.

Captivated by their youthful yet developed essence, the boys won over CEO Brewer Shettles and were submitted into the 2004 Grammy Awards for their self penned single “Pop That”. That benchmarked a Volta better known as a “changing point” for their careers…

Innate Forte had tasted their first few drops of success and a new addiction has been born. In the summer of 2004, Innate Forte returned to the United States this time to visit music city itself, Atlanta, Georgia. Once in Atlanta, Innate Forte were invited to meet with Vocal Coaching legend Jan Smith. Upon meeting the group Jan asked the boys to just “do you”…Her next few words were “amazing, amazing, amazing”. Jan was so impressed by the consistency in their harmonic blend, touched by their charming personalities she decided to fully embrace the talent, helping them to develop everything about them… and for the first time ever she took an act under her managerial wing.

Innate Forte quickly became a hot topic in the south, returning to and from the USA a furthered 24 times. They began to work with some of the industry’s biggest producers including G Productions/Konvict Music, Charlie J, Teddy Riley, Dallas Austin meanwhile developing their own skills as aspiring writers and producers.

Busy enhancing their catalogue, Innate Forte became unaware of the extraordinary demand they had developed across the world, especially in regions within Germany and other European countries including France, The UK and The Netherlands. Their Fanbase was growing rapidly and so were they…

2008 was decided to be a year of serious work for Innate Forte; they took cover in Atlanta, GA and began to meticulously strategize their release. Alongside Jan Smith and an array of industry veterans they began working 16-hour days, building their fitness and core conditioning, strengthening their vocal delivery and empowering their pens.

“It was hard work, extracting ourselves from the stage, fans, life…BUT…it made for a stronger, more durable and well oiled machine…there have been some changes in our group, all simply increased the stamina of this project and now we are truly bringing it…Unbreakable… haha!”

Well…it’s here…2009, It’s not a takeover…. it’s THE RETURN…

Planet Earth, Innate Forte are the best to ever do it…they are definition of the word “grind”, they are re-definition of the word ”entertainment”…This year music develops a new genre…It’s called R&P “Rhythm and Pop”…The Introduction is NOW…. This is INNATE FORTE…
