Exhale (band)
Exhale was a unique R&B female music trio comprising Tasha Belton, Tiko George, and Toya Watson of THE Fairmont Heights High School in Prince George's county, MD! They were signed to Real Deal Records, a company founded by boxing legend Evander Holyfield. Their manager was Melinda Zanecki from eMphasis, inc., and their representative was John F. Mercer.
They describe their music as so: "We have the attitude of TLC combined with a more traditional R&B flavor, like En Vogue, but we're still funky fresh."
Debut
They had one album, self-titled "Exhale", released in 2002, which produced two singles.
The first being "Chillin' In Your Benz", "Benz" referring to the car brand Mercedes-Benz. It had one music video made for it, where one group member is dating a man who is cheating on her, and her friends are telling her to break up with him. The choreography in this video was done by Kirk L. Jennings.
"Still Not Over You" was their second single, which also had a music video, directed by Smith n' Borin, and released in the week of June 10, 2002.
Two of their songs were nominated for the Eighth Annual Soul Train Lady Of Soul Awards. Chillin' In Your Benz for "BEST R&B/SOUL SINGLE, GROUP, BAND, OR DUO", and Still Not Over You for "BEST R&B/SOUL OR RAP NEW ARTIST, GROUP, BAND OR DUO".
Disband
The group broke up during the early production stages of the second album, only recording one single song.
