The group Big Brovaz originally comprised of three girls, Cherise, Dion, Nadia and three boys, J-Rock, Flawless and Randy, plus two producers Skillz a.k.a JJC, who also manages his group 419 squad, and Fingaz. The group have been compared to the likes of The Fugees and OutKast.
The group were brought together by Fingaz, one of the collective's producers, who already worked under the title "Big Brovaz". The "Big Brovaz" team asked the individual members to showcase their talent alongside underground London R&B and hop hop artists on a compilation that was being put together, entitled "Big Brovaz - Watching You". On the album, rather than giving each member an individual track, the producers decided to make the artists work together and perform on the same track. The chemistry between all of the members developed and so, the Big Brovaz compilation album in fact became the group.
The "Big Brovaz - Watching You" compilation was a heavily successful underground release and sold over two thousand copies on the underground alone. The live shows to promote the release built up the reputation of the producers and artists on the record.
A track from the album which featured West London R&B singer Cherise was picked up by the organiser of the annual MOBO award organisers and she was asked to compete in the annual Mobo Unsigned talent competition, walking away with first prize. Cherise was signed and later release her own solo album. Following this, the group were picked up by Sony records and the rest is history.

Big Brovaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel as though I'm goin
Out of my mind, can't you see
Every time I'm with you I feel weak
Even though we're in a dream, oh I
Can't last a day without
Your touch, your kiss
Gently caressing my body
Distant love, wish I
Knew how I met you
I know I shouldn't waste
Time wonderin
Is it you who yearns when
I touch your skin
So gentle, so gentle, I can feel you
Tell me
Tell me this is no lie
I see you in the reflection
Of my eyes
If your not here, please
Tell me where
[Chorus]
I know that you're out there
(I can feel that you are close
By your here somewhere)
I've been waitin so long for you
(Is life a dream, are things
Really what they seem)
When I close my eyes you're here
(Yo, I want to hold you if only I could show you)
Dreamings not like reality
(Cause you're my destiny
Girl you know)
Need you too
Is this a curse or am I blessed
I think I'm going mad
Up in this cold world
Without my girl
I visualize her daily because I am feeling incomplete without my lady
I see things like her image
Lurking in the mirror
I'm fantasizing, wishing she were right beside me
But realising I am
Dreaming its an illusion
So much confusion
I'm crazy about this lady
You haunt me, I have never met
You but I can swear to god in my dreams I smell and touch you
I long for you want to hold
You when I am lonely
Cause in my heart you're
The only one who knows me
If only I could manifest
Your very being I could show
You a part of me
No girl has ever seen
Believe me you're the only
One in this whole world for me
I know your out there so
Baby girl just wait for me
[Chorus]
I know that you're out there
(I can feel that you are close
By your here somewhere)
I've been waitin so long for you
(Is life a dream, are things
Really what they seem)
When I close my eyes you're here
(Yo, I want to hold you if only I could show you)
Dreamings not like reality
(Cause you're my destiny
Girl you know )
Need you too
[Bridge]
How will I know its you,
So many faces in the world
(Which on belong to you)
Would you pass me by
(If I don't say hi)
Please leave a clue
(I'll come find you and make
Our dreams come true)
I won't hesitate nor wonder,
But please don't make
We wait no longer
(If I had my way you'd be
Here with me, I know its destiny, coz we we're meant to be)
[Chorus]
I know that you're out there
(I can feel that you are close
By your here somewhere)
I've been waitin so long for you
(Is like a dream are things
Really what you seem)
When I close my eyes you're here
(Yo, I want to hold you if only
I could show you)
Dreamings not like reality
(Cause you're my destiny
Girl you know )
I Need you too
