#ENCORE BET MUSIC CODE#
Irish Grinstead & LeMisha Grinstead (702): Sisters Irish and LeMisha were part of the R&B girl group, 702, named after the area code of their hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. Shamari was recently part of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA next to her husband, Ronnie DeVoe (of New Edition). Shamari DeVoe (Blaque): Known for hit singles "808", "Bring It All to Me," and "I Do," Shamari is the lead vocalist of platinum-selling group Blaque and also appeared in the film BRING IT ON alongside Gabrielle Union. Will their artistic differences or egos get in the way of forming a group? Or will these powerhouse women show the world that they still have what it takes to make a major comeback? Only time, and the music, will tell. An esteemed roster of music industry experts will drop in each week to prepare them for their big debut and deliver a chart-topping record, including music producer Kosine, choreographer Aliya Janell, songwriter Elijah Blake, and vocal coach Cynnamyn. Faced with fun twists and unforeseen constraints, the ladies will need to stretch beyond their musical and personal comfort zones to succeed as a team.

The catch? The songstresses must achieve this in only 30 days, with none of them knowing who their bandmates will be ahead of time. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, these talented singers turned wives, moms, and entrepreneurs, will move in together, write new music, learn choreography, record an album, and put on a live performance. Shamari DeVoe, Irish Grinstead, LeMisha Grinstead, Nivea Nash, Felisha King, Fallon King, Pamela Long, Aubrey O' Day, and Kiely Williams have signed on to the one-of-a-kind music experiment to become the next big musical sensation.

BET PRESENTS THE ENCORE is a one-hour reality series that follows nine of the most memorable solo artists and girl groups from the 1990s and 2000s, as they form the ultimate R&B supergroup.
