B5, previously known as TNT Boyz and Audio, is a R&B music group originating from St. Petersburg, Florida which later relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. B5 has returned to the music scene and the five Breeding brothers are back and better than ever! The group — which consists of Dustin Michael, 31, Kelly Allen, 30, Patrick Owen, 29, Carnell Frederick, 27, and Bryan Jesse, 24 — was discovered in 2005 by Sean “Diddy” Combs who signed them to his Bad Boy Entertainment label.
They were formerly known as the TNT Boyz featuring only the four eldest brothers, but renamed themselves B5 when Bryan, the youngest brother, joined the group. From late 2009 to early 2010, they renamed themselves Audio and then returned to the name B5 on May 30, 2012. Bryan and Patrick left the group, leaving Dustin, Kelly, and Carnell to rename themselves Men in Black(MIB). After Dustin and Carnell had their own kids, they dropped out of the group leaving Kelly as a rapper and Dustin a soloist, while Carnell stopped making music to devote his time to his family.
Since 2018, the members of the band have been working together once more as B5. Their new single “Wave” is currently available on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
