Vibe Squad is an Urban Afrobeats group made up of 3 London based artist Wizzy, Pregoo and Dee. The group came to know each other after gaining admission into the same Sixth-Form College in East-London and realising they shared the same ethnic background and most importantly the same passion for music, they made the decision to enter the fast emerging Afrobeats genre.
Vibe Squad released their first single “Whine Pon Me” produced by Kings Beat in the summer of 2009 to mostly positive reviews, leading to them being dubbed as the new “Praye” of the Afrobeats world by Sankofa of Spectrum Radio.The success of “Whine Pon Me” led to Vibe Squad being invited to perform at events such as Ghana Party in the Park, Ghana meet the stars organised by Van Dyck and Akwaaba promotion to perform alongside renowned artists like Tinchy Stryder, V.I.P, Praye and many more.

The group released their second single “You’re The One” a song that caught the attention and admiration of Nigerian promoters Starmix Entertainment who instantly made arrangements for the group to perform with Mario and Terry G at the indigo2. Vibe Squad were also invited to open up for Tuface at the launching of his album “The Unstoppable(I.E)” in July 2010 at Troxy, London.
In October 2010, Vibe Squad decided to take some time off the music scene to concentrate on their personal lives i.e Education mainly due to the massive workload involved in reading courses such as International Business, Law and Pharmacy at University level.
Vibe Squad jumped back on the scene summer 2011 with the release of their fast-paced third single “Dance With Me” with a video featuring the funky house sensation Tribal Magz of Tribal Man Skank fame. “Dance with me” just like its predecessors mostly had a good reception from the numerous Afrobeats DJs in London. This single was quickly followed by ‘Wadi Mi Sika’ a song described by Wizzy as being made to feed the “azonto-hungry” fans featuring Mista Silva and Kwamz & Flava. A video was shot for the track due to numerous demands from fans on twitter and Facebook.
Vibe Squad are looking to drop 2 more singles before releasing their first E.P. They have described their next singles as being “CRAAZY”….
