Collective Peace was originated by saxophonist, LaDarrel "Saxappeal" Johnson and LaKeisha "Ideeyah" Johnson. When asked to perform at "Dilla Day", a day in honor of the great James "J-Dilla" Yancey, (Producer & founding member of Slum Village), Saxappeal put together a band. After performing an amazing set of music, the audience exploded! Then a few people shouted out, "What's the name of the band?" Sax responded, "We haven't really come up with one.. We're just a collective piece." Pepper Holton (Mother of Detroit LEGEND emcee, Big Proof) was in the audience at the time. She shouted out, "That IS your name! You ARE Collective PEACE!" A wave of excitement hit the audience as the movement began on that day. Now, with twelve members: Saxappeal Ideeyah KetchPhraze Kris Jahi Tony G Kamau Marcus Douglas RJ Horeski Ashley Nelson D Love Greg Hardaway Otis "Big O" Shelton The Collective Peace movement is now stronger than ever! Welcome to the movement. Welcome to the music. Welcome to Collective Peace.
