Background
The band formed after Ben Ofoedu left Phats & Small[1] and formed a band with DJ Rods (aka Rodney Williams), who he had known since school,[2] and Leigh Guest, a member of Double Trouble.[1]
Their first single was "Luv Da Sunshine". It charted at No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart, spending two weeks there.[3]
Their third single, "Get It On", featured Lisa Scott-Lee and was promoted with a music video that was self-funded by Intenso and Scott-Lee,[4] and charted at No. 23 on the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks on the chart, despite being B-listed at Capital.[3] The relative failure of this record (Scott-Lee had been dropped after producing a record that had charted at No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart) resulted in her taking a break from music, and the record not being featured on her solo album, Never or Now.[4] It was also performed on Top of the Pops.[5]
In addition, Intenso Project have provided a remix for Aaliyah's "Don't Know What to Tell Ya".[6]
