-------The Sky Beneath was formed in July of 2003 when long-time friends Furyus, Beaujangles, Pakwit & Steven Van Beathavin decided to focus their creativity, energy, and love for music on a long-overdue album. In just three weeks, they recorded "The Ground." Shortly after, they released it on a small scale through their newly established record label Sky Beneath Records (formerly "NorthBest Records").

In the Fall of 2003, the group members went their separate ways to continue their respective educations. Pakwit resumed work in Oakland at Expression College for Digital Arts, Beaujangles & Furyus resumed work at Stanford and Yale and Beathavin traveled to South America. While at Yale, Furyus formed a second group, 'Fifth Floor,' with friends, NuSonRize & Fitzgeezus. Managed by Furyus' recently established BudgetBooth Productions & Recordings, the group put together an short album - "The 5th Floor" - with original lyrics recorded over beats from some of their favorite producers. After achieving unrivaled popularity on campus, the three went on to win a Battle of the Bands competition at Toad's Place - one of the Northeast's premier concert venues.

While at Stanford, Beaujangles and Philly roommate, DJ Kucer Vandross formed the backbone of the 'Chevy Blazer Band', which included drummer Adrian Perry, bassist Matt Henick, and pianist Chris Earhart. The following year, after changing drummers and adding vocalists (Mei Li and Mia Woolfalk) as well New York emcee Dan Doktori, the group Hercules in New York was born. The band rocked live Hiphop shows.

For the next two years, Beaujangles maintained a presence as a talented MC in the area, frequently showcasing his freestyles on 90.

' This is a band that is fun, intense, and is constantly working to grow and evolve. Everything that they do is in the interest of getting better, aiming higher, and ultimately achieving their goal of sharing their music with the world.

Josh Manson: Guitar Josh first formed Dying Season in 2004, and is one of two original members of the band. He was born in Attleboro, MA in 1980 and started playing the guitar at 18 years of age. He was first inspired by watching Joe Satriani play, and then picked up his first instrument and learned to play without a single lesson. He has been completely self taught on the guitar, drums, bass, piano, keyboards, and is also able to fill a vocal role. Josh's guitar influences are Satriani, Mikeal Akerfeldt, Maynard, and Jerry Cantrell. His musical influences would be Tool, Opeth, Alice in Chains and Katatonia.

Josh is a modest guitar player who believes that his musical ability is more important than pretentiousness on stage. He completely devotes himself to his music and is continuously working to create new music and develop the band.
