They began competing in local talent shows and school events and developed huge fan-based of all ages and races. The original members were receiving offers from local record labels at an early stage of their careers. Unfamiliar with the nature of the music industry, The Circle G’z chose to remain unsigned during there beginning phases, although their main focus was to produce quality music without following routine secular trends. As the years past, the group began to grow into a powerhouse of artist that compliments each other unique style.

Stay tuned to the rebirth of Houston, it will no longer be known as H-Town, but Circle City. We Can’t Lose, The Fight’s Fixed.
