at age eleven. He became a favorite in his community that has
produced some of R&B’s most famous acts such as The Ohio Players,
Slave, Steve Arrington, Faze-O, Lakeside, Heatwave, Van Hunt, ZAPP
and the late Roger Troutman to name a few. He was a key member of
one of the cities hottest bands called Crystal Love as a lead
vocalist. This line-up consisted of Ronald (Nookie) Nooks, current
keyboardist of the Ohio Players and William Shelby, the hit singer,
songwriter, musician, and producer from the former hit record label,
SOLAR. Tresure later joined the military as a way of introducing
adventure into his life while expanding his musical audience. In
Europe he worked with Grammy winner Johnny Davis (the actual
vocalist behind Milli Vanilli) in the studio creating melodies prior
to the Milli Vanilli era. Tresure formed, and was the front man for
a high energy band that was very popular throughout Europe called
