Straight Company is like a musical magnet, drawing together many diverse musical styles and transforming them into something uniquely there own. Although they have experimented with various styles and formats over the years, they remain true to their a’cappella roots and continue to deliver vibrant, airtight harmonies, reminiscent of nothing you have heard before.

Everything that went into making this group such a breath of fresh air over the last 30 years, is still prevalent in their music, stage presence, lyrics, deliverance and sincerity. They have a love for their work because, after all, it is a good and noble task, one filled with love of God and their fellow man and one that brings good news on every note.

God blessed Straight Company with an abundance of musical talent and it seems to flow effortless from their minds as well as from their lips. The nuances, dips, swirls and turns of their music tend to captivate the listener and force a smile… and at those very special moments a tear. The lyrics, the melodies, the depth and breath of their renditions leave one wandering how this is possible with vocal chords alone. Surely there must be some musical tracks running in the background? I assure you there are none!

Straight Company began their odyssey thirty years ago as a concept in the mind of one man and their sound is just as sharp, vivid and intense as it was in the beginning. They have only gotten better with time. From the moment this group mounts the stage and before a single note is sung, the audience senses that something special is about to happen. They’re not disappointed! Something special always happen when Straight Company is present.

What Essej (The Groups Founder & Leader) wanted all those many years ago was to blend the sounds of his African heritage with the sounds of the American street scene to create a new and exciting style and sound that is uniquely Straight Company. The result is truly astounding and very, very special.
