Singer Frero Jean-Baptiste was surprisingly and refreshingly frank about his displeasure with Mass Compas, and how he is able to survive as an artist since Gracia Delva and Mass Compas have taken a hiatus, and has joined Ralph Menelas to form a new band. After much thought and deliberation, Frero has parted ways with Mass Compasl, as he revealed to Viznation.com. While this may appear to be bad news on the surface, he truly believes that he will continue, not as a solo artist, but will always have a band to back him up in order to continue forward progression in his career.
www.vibznation.com has talked with the artist who is currently in Martinique.
