Black Ink (Initially called Dark Matter) was founded by two teen friends - Ginger and Raff. They later invited wojteck (who was also their friend) for the drums. Initially both Ginger and Raff played guitar. They tried to find someone to play the bass but couldn't, so Ginger switched from playing guitar to playing bass for the band. Their first band formation that remained untouched for one year, lacking a second guitarist was as follows: Rafi guitar/vocals ginger bass/Back vocals wojtek drums However in September 2013, Black Ink's close friend Laura Carter joined Black Ink and became the lead singer. Black Ink was now a complete group but still open to let one more guitarist join the band. But it wasn't until early April that Black Ink found Shannon Evans to play guitar. However it was not long before she left the band and was replaced by Ryan Griffiths. Now Black Ink's formation is as follows: Laura Lead Vocals Rafi Guitar/Vocals Ryan Griffiths Guitar/Vocals Ginger Bass/Back Vocals Wojtek Drums/Back Vocals....... January 2014: Our close friend Adiba Ndiwe has joined the band as the lead vocalist and keyboardist after Laura's departure, however not long after, in march Black Ink former members decided that the musical differences between them and Adiba were stopping the band from progressing, therefore Laura Carter accepted to come back to the band after Adiba left Black Ink in good terms. Laura - Vocals, Rafi - Guitar, Ryan - Guitar, Ginger - Bass, Wojtek - Drums
