Biography In a small garage of suburban Detroit, four musicians huddled around a kerosene heater on a bitter cold February evening. After about 20 minutes, each one knew they were on to something good. This would be the genesis of the hip hop/rock band Red Letter Anthem.
The guys in RLA began playing music together at their home church as a part of the praise and worship team. The band was birthed while filling some down time at practice with a fun freestyle session. Josh and Tom teamed up to set a drum and bass foundation which Shane quickly peppered with his unique guitar styling. James, better known in the hip hop community as �elementzero�, began to spontaneously recite lyrics over top of it. Drummer Josh suggested that they all get together and try to successfully fuse the rap and rock sound and write a few songs. Having recognized the positive role music had played in each of their lives, the four friends banded together as brothers to bring their music and a message of hope to the damaged generation around them. The result has seen them rise to the top of the Detroit music scene. So how do four guys with different musical backgrounds come together to create such a fresh and refined �hip rock� sound? �Easy, we just all offer what we do best� says James, (elementzero) who is the lead vocalist and emcee of the band. Together these four young men combine their talents and energetic live stage show to bring hip hop with a rock edge that is sure to speak to any crowd.
