Get Squared!

The amazing story of P Square begins in a small Catholic school called St.Mu rumba College, Jos, Nigeria. A set of extremely gifted identical twins Peter and Paul joined their school music and Drama club where they began singing, dancing, and miming songs by MC Hammer Bobby Brown and Micheal Jackson. They later formed an accapella quartet called MMPP (Micheal, Melvin, Peter and Paul ).They became an instant hit all over the Jos metropolis and a delight to the church congregation with their beautiful voices and song delivery. Drawing inspiration from their music idol Micheal Jackson, they began Break Dancing, and formed the group called "SMOOTH CRIMINALS" in 1997.Their artistic talent and precise dance routine soon made them household names in the city of Jos, where they performed at school functions and other occasions. Later in 1999, Peter and Paul returned to Music school to develop their skills on various musical instruments (Keyboard, Drums, Bass and Rhythm Guitar. ). Their multi talent soon got noticed by the Nigerian movie Producers and they started making movie soundtracks for films like Tobi, Mama Sunday, Moment of Bitterness, Evas River. Academic pursuit led them to University of Abuja later that year where they were admitted to read Business Administration. The Smooth Criminals disbanded due to the scattering of his members all over the Northern Universities in Nigeria. Subsequently Peter and Paul formed their own group called double P,P&P, and Da Pees until they eventually settled for P Square. P Square contested the year 2001 "Grab Da mic"competition which they won, and hence Benson & Hedges sponsored their debut Album titled Last Nite released under Timbuk2 Music Label.
