The Story of NDEEP:
How We Started and Where We’re Headed
Every band has a story, but for NDEEP, it started with more than just a shared love for music—it began with a vision to create something soulful, authentic, and lasting. Long before we became a name on a flyer or a setlist, we were simply friends, jamming in living rooms, garages, and small rehearsal spaces, driven by the belief that music combined with thought provoking lyrics has the power to connect people on a deeper level.
“I remember the first time we played together,” recalls Lance Mason. “It wasn’t about perfection. It was about vibe. We all felt something click, like, ‘Yeah…this could be something special.’”
Finding Our Sound
NDEEP’s sound didn’t happen overnight—it evolved. Our style is a fusion of jazz, R&B, and soul, blending smooth grooves, heartfelt melodies, and live instrumentation with a modern edge. Each member brings unique influences—some of us grew up on Motown and classic R&B, while others leaned toward jazz improvisation and funk. The result? A sound that’s rich, dynamic, and unmistakably ours.
“We like to say our music feels like a conversation,” says Charles Jones. “Sometimes it’s smooth, sometimes it’s playful, sometimes it’s emotional. But it’s always real.”
The First Big Break
Like many bands, our early gigs were small—local bars, private events, community stages—but they were packed with energy. Then came the show that changed everything.
“It all started at the GHOST BAR (at the historic Whitney restaurant in midtown),” Lance Mason remembers. “Maybe 50 people in the room, but the way they responded…man, it felt like 5,000. That night, we realized we weren’t just playing music—we were creating experiences. That was the moment NDEEP truly became a band.”
Growing Together
Being in a band is more than just playing music—it’s about growing together, learning from one another, and finding balance between creativity and connection. We’ve spent late nights in the studio refining songs, early mornings traveling to gigs, and countless hours writing, rehearsing, and dreaming about what’s next.
“There are moments when everything just flows—like we’re all locked into the same frequency,” says William O'Dell Hughes. “Those are the moments we live for. And we can’t wait to share more of them with our fans.”
Where We’re Headed
Looking ahead, NDEEP is just getting started. We’re working on new original music, expanding our live shows, and exploring ways to bring our sound to new cities and audiences. Whether it’s through streaming platforms, intimate acoustic sessions, or full-scale performances, our goal remains the same—to make music that moves people.
Join Us On This Journey
Our story is still being written, and we want you to be part of it. Come to a show, stream our tracks, or share our music with someone who loves real, soulful vibes. Together, we can take NDEEP to new heights—and keep the groove alive for years to come.
“Music is more than notes and lyrics—it’s emotion, connection, and energy,” says Lance Mason. “That’s what NDEEP is about. That’s why we play.”
