Groovetek biography

US eurodance project Groovetek from Chicago were first known as Rhythm Boyz House from 1991 to 1992, and released 2 songs : Babylon Groove and Feel the music. Then, when they heard Eurodance music songs such as 2 Unlimited's Twilight Zone and Culture Beat's Mr. Vain they decided they wanted to go that sort of style too.

The project started as T.I.O featuring Melanie, releasing 2 songs : In And Out in 1996 and Groove Tonight in 1998 (a cover of Earth Wind & Fire). After they changed their name to Groovetek, they released an album in 2000-2001 called The Anthem. It contained 3 beautiful eurodance songs with rap, female vocal & good synths. Lead female vocal : Melanie Turner. Rap: Walid Ishak aka MC Roc. It was produced by Hamid Ahang & Steve B. Isaac. Lyrics were written by Walid Ishak, music was composed by Steve B. Isaac, Robert Turner. Background vocals were done by Robert Turner. Album was recorded in Delta Sound Labs, Chicago.

Groovetek tried hard to find a record label in Europe, but in vain. The Anthem was their last release and in 2002 Groovetek disbanded. 3 years later Melanie Turner passed away from cancer. Walid Ishak is still in the music business, doing projects with other artists like famous Assyrian pop singer Linda George, doing a rap in Assyrian. In 2013 he released a single called Shermatha in Assyrian under stage name Rawaya. He still keeps up with other group members

Thanks to D'man 94 and to MC Roc
