3AM Tokyo, a well known cover act in the northeastern U.S. is releasing a new original single
that’s all about lust and the fun and sexy side of life.
The new single “Whoa Oh Oh” was released in mid-August and features the fresh new voice of
Eliza Vitale paired with group founder Picasso Brown, Steve Leevy on keyboard, Eric Whatley
on bass and Jerel Murray on drums.
“You really have to listen to the message because it’s inferred,” Picasso said. “It’s a very sexual
song, it’s about lust. The premise is like whoa, oh my God. When Eliza is singing her part, she’s
talking about how he makes her feel, like whoa. And when I sing my part, I'm saying like, how
you use everything you're doing and it’s like whoa for me as well. It's fun and sexy.”
Picasso said 3AM Tokyo was called on recently to open for the rapper Flo Rida for a few dates on
the east coast and they decided to come up with an original song to debut at that opening.
“This was actually Eliza’s idea,” Picasso said. “She was like, ‘we should come up with a song.’ I
called her up to come to the studio and we knocked it out in four hours. Literally four hours, we
wrote it and I produced and mixed it within two days.”
3AM Tokyo is the brainchild of Picasso, a Grammy nominated Singer/Songwriter/Producer, and
it is one of the top regional and national cover acts with a powerful mix of pop, hip hop, EDM,
reggae and rock.
“The sounds and dynamics of 3AM Tokyo are flawless, but we also have one of the top visual
production shows on the scene, not only performing the songs, but giving fans a visual experience
like no other,” Picasso said. “It's a visual show with lights and lasers and LED walls and all that
stuff. And we have a complete mix of what we do throughout our show. So all these songs work
within a three hour show that we do.”
Picasso said all the members of 3AM Tokyo have their own musical careers. Leevy on keyboard
is a national touring musician who has performed with Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg and others.
Whatley is also a bass player for John Legend.
“I formed this group with different people that are that are prominent and in different areas,,”
Picasso said. “We've been out for maybe ten years doing what we do. And it was just the four of
us. Then I added Eliza to give us that kind of ‘Fergie’ feel, I guess you could call it. You know,
Black Eyed Peas? She's my Fergie.”
The group has had some success on the Billboard Top 100 charts with their song “Can We Kick
It,” and they continue to forge a unique identity and a truly unparalleled experience.
