Vibe Squad is an African pop group formed in 2009.[1] The group was initially set up as a quintet consisting of Kelvin Amoako,William Osei- Obengo, Richard Korede and Bright Oduro who were all students at NewVic Sixth Form College in the London Borough of Newham.[2] Bright Oduro (alias: Rudboi) was the first to leave the group in pursuance of a career in music production.[3] The music group Vibe Squad (V.S) emerged from the fusion of Four boys coming from West African Diaspora backgrounds with overwhelming talents after an intense talent spotting exercise. Vibe Squad was formed in London and the headquarters is still situated at the same location. Being an upcoming group, there were barricades that the V.S had to break in order to get noticed, which they did with the help of their first hit single ‘Whine Pon Me’.[4]
