Since the dawn of time, music has been the heartbeat of humanity—an unspoken language that transforms emotion into melody and stories into song. Southern City Boyz embody that truth, bringing together two dynamic voices whose journeys, rooted in authenticity and soul, converge into one powerful musical force.
At the core of the group is Ty Juan, a New Jersey native whose passion for music began in church pews and school stages. Encouraged early by his family, he developed a commanding vocal presence shaped by gospel and classic R&B influences like Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, and New Edition. With a sound grounded in real singing—rich vocals, heartfelt storytelling, and timeless melodies—Ty Juan has earned award-winning recognition, including Underground Music Awards for Most Promising Male Singer and Best New Male R&B Artist.
A proven hitmaker, Ty Juan’s résumé spans songwriting and production for artists such as Public Announcement, Fel Davis, Christopher Williams, and Michelle Brooks-Thompson. His Billboard Top 10 success with The Windy City Legionnaires and multiple #1 global records—including “Sorry Not Sorry” and “My Name Is Ty”—cement his place as a versatile and evolving artist. His transition into Southern Soul, with standout records like “Mr. Fix It” and “Jelly,” continues to expand his reach as he prepares for his next chapter with The Signature.
Joining him is Fel Davis, a platinum-recording singer, songwriter, and producer whose legacy in R&B is firmly established. A Chicago native, Fel rose to national prominence as the lead vocalist of the chart-topping group Public Announcement, contributing to iconic hits like “Body Bumpin’ (Yippee-Yi-Yo),” “John Doe,” and “A Man Ain’t Supposed to Cry.” As co-writer of the platinum-selling “Body Bumpin’,” which reached #4 on the R&B charts and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, Fel helped define an era of contemporary R&B.
With a career rooted in real-life storytelling and smooth, soulful delivery, Fel transitioned into a successful solo artist, captivating audiences with his rich tone and timeless sound. His music, embraced by Chicago’s Stepping community and beyond, reflects a deep commitment to authenticity, passion, and musical excellence.
Together as Southern City Boyz, Ty Juan and Fel Davis unite Northern roots with Southern Soul, classic R&B with modern influence, and individual excellence with collective power. Their collaboration represents more than music—it’s a movement that honors the legacy of true rhythm and blues while pushing it forward for a new generation.
