Formed in the early 80s by Magic, a talented producer who has worked with the Whispers, Phil Perry, Earth Wind & Fire and others, Unified Tribe started in New York and later relocated to Los Angeles, Austin, and most recently to Las Vegas, where the group is now based.

Independent from the get-go, Unified Tribe debuted in 2001 with Listen to This, an album that was well received and resulted a sizeable buzz for the group. They followed in 2003 with Mixed Messages. The diverse sound of the disc and the strong musicianship solidified the relatively small but fiercely loyal following for the group. Mixing a funk foundation with soulful grooves and messages of unity, Unified Tribe may be one of the most talented groups you've never heard of.
