21:03 is made up of three young men, each with his own unique background and story to tell, but all united around one common purpose: To carry a message of faith, hope, and optimism-- through the good news of Gospel—to an often troubled world.
While the threesome’s dazzling, frequently dizzying, vocal prowess makes them sound as if they could be brothers, singing together for a lifetime, they are in fact the end result of an exhaustive talent search on the part of the red-hot, hit-making production team, PAJAM (Paul "pda" Allen, JMoss, and Walter Kearney).
PAJAM, for the better part of the last decade, has written for and produced some of the biggest artists in both secular and gospel music, including, Destiny’s Child, Kelly Price, N’SYNC, Vanessa Williams, Dru Hill ,Boyz II Men, Rueben Studdard, Karen Clark-Sheard, and Hezekiah Walker, and Trin-i-tee 5:7. After launching the Stellar Award-sweeping, Grammy nominated, solo-artist career of JMoss in 2005, and four-woman, hot hit act, Ramiyah—featured in the smash film and soundtrack, "The Fighting Temptations"—the partners decided it was time to grow their vision in even greater, more exciting and challenging ways.
The name 21:03 represents the actual day—January 21, 2003—that PAJAM resolved to take their talents to an even higher level by finding, forming and grooming a band of highly gifted vocalists who would prepare—musically and spiritually—for its own musical mission under the careful watch and guidance of PAJAM, and the team of gifted people who round out their Detroit-based production company.
Over the following six months, the PAJAM organization put a number of young talents through demanding, daily drills in every aspect of professional entertainment, including singing, choreography, and stage presence, as well as integrity and strength of character. That rigorous, uncompromising search for excellence, by the fall of 2003, yielded Sean Grant, Torrence Greene, and Evin Martin, now known officially, and for the world to see and hear on their self-titled, Zomba Music Group debut, as 21:03.
All of the album’s14 songs were written and produced by PAJAM, and 21:03’s ready-to-rock, ultra-radio-friendly sound rides on the cutting edge of the contemporary Gospel grooves that the world has come to expect from PAJAM, but all applied, sculpted and refined to fit the unique and distinctive personality of the group.
