If you haven’t heard of Mindless Behavior, well, you should have… The young R&B quartet male group, Prodigy, Princeton, Roc Royal & Ray Ray, sat down with me via Skype to talk about their upcoming album, #1 Girl, touring with Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber, Diggy Simmons, plus, their favorite brands and more. The group has already collaborated with the likes of Ciara, Tyga and Lil’ Twist among other established artists. The “My Girl” singers has reached rising success since their first single and are aspiring for longevity.

Terrell: Did you guys know each other prior to fame?
Princeton: No, we didn’t know each other before the group, but Roc [Royal] and Ray Ray lived down the street from each other.
Roc Royal: We kind of heard of each other but at the same time, nah, we didn’t know each other.
Terrell: Now, Ray Ray and Roc, where were you guys living? What state were you guys living in?
Roc Royal: Actually, we all live in L.A. except for Prodigy.
Terrell: Prodigy, where you from?
Prodigy: I’m from Philly, but I live in Maryland right now.
Terrell: Ok. Now I had the opportunity to see you guys live at the Janet Jackson tour when you guys came to Chicago at the Number Ones Tour, you guys did an amazing job. How does it feel to have worked with so many great talents in your career?
Ray Ray: It feels very good. It feel like we’re working very hard to get to these points so for us to go on tour with Janet, Justin Bieber, Jason DeRulo and the Backstreet Boys; it’s something big for us. We were really excited to do these things, we’re really happy as a group; we’re getting a lot better.
Terrell: Now, how is the process working from an audience like Janet Jackson’s — having that type of audience versus the tour you guys are on now with Diggy, Lil’ Twist and y’know the rest of that crew?
Princeton: It’s very different. I think the only tour we’ve been on that’s like our peers was the Justin Bieber Tour, but now we have our fans that come with their posters for us [and] our Mindless shirts. Being on tour with Backstreet Boys, Janet Jackson, Jason DeRulo and Justin Bieber, when we went, we didn’t see that many Mindless fans but now we see a lot of our peers like Diggy, Lil’ Twist and Tyga; it’s really cool. We can’t wait to get on the Scream Tour.
