After dropping his first solo single “Pay It Forward,” former B5 member Dustin Michael releases a new solo project Different; it's ten tracks of Dustin shedding his previous bubble gum image. On the project, you get a mix of turn up anthems, raunchy slow jams, and satisfying grooves.
In the early 00s, P. Diddy took B5 under his wing and signed them to Bad Boy. As a group, they toured and appeared in shows alongside major acts like Kanye West, Akon, Chris Brown, Ginuwine, T-Pain, Bow Wow, Usher, Omarion, Backstreet Boys and N’Sync. However, because of disagreements within their management division, the group separated in 2014. Most of their songs were never released under their ex-label, Motown, but Dustin’s passion for music grew stronger, motivating him to go solo.
