The group features a plethora of talent, including gold record artist J. Dash on keys and vocals.
Originally formed in 2001 and originally funded by ex-drummer Pete Booras, the band self-produced their own CD demos, DVD videos and released their first CD, titled The Solution, in 2004. They also acted as their own agent and manager, booking gigs on their own[1][2] until 2008.[citation needed]
After several years the band went through a line-up change in 2007 adding Drummer Jeff Byrd (ByrDog), a Jazz/Fusion drummer with Hip-Hop roots, and bassist Cary Jordan (Cary The Label Guy), a bassist with Jazz/Rock/Hip-Hop roots and a Warwick (bass guitar) user.[3]
2008 also welcomed rapper/celebrity chef J Dash to the Fusebox Funk lineup as a full-time keyboardist/vocalist.
Fusebox Funk have appeared on the same bill with artists such as Galactic, Ozomatli and George Clinton as well as performed with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra.[4]
