Exhale (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exhale was a unique R&B female music trio comprising Tasha Belton, Tiko George, and Toya Watson of 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.[1]
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."
