Back 2 Basics (B2B) is an American band consisting of John Paris and Eddie Mininfield, renowned for their contributions to the music industry as musicians and collaborators with iconic artists. B2B's music is characterized by a fusion of smooth jazz, soul, r&b, pop, blues, and funk reflecting the versatile backgrounds of both artists. John Paris's multi-instrumental prowess and Eddie M's mastery of the saxophone create a dynamic and eclectic sound.
History
editEddie and John's musical paths crossed when they started playing music together at the age of 15. Later, they became bandmates when they started playing in various Top 40 bands in the Bay Area, All As One, and Mixed Company. Their early performances at numerous clubs throughout California and Japan laid a solid foundation for their future careers.[1]
Eddie M and John Paris pursued goals beyond nightclub performances, leading to careers as touring and session musicians. Eddie M has recorded and performed with Verdine White, Prince & the Revolution, Sheila E., Beyoncé, Paula Abdul, Stevie Nicks, and more.[2] In addition to his work with B2B, John Paris is the drummer for the legendary band Earth, Wind & Fire.[3] Paris also performed and recorded with Bob Dylan, Whitney Houston, Patti LeBelle, Natalie Cole, Donna Summer, Meghan Trainor, Kelly Clarkson, amongst others.[4]
After achieving success in their individual careers, Paris and Eddie decided to return to their roots by forming B2B, which stands for Back to Basics. This formation marked a return to the fundamentals that shaped their early musical experiences.
