After an early start of playing professionally in the Philadelphia and New York area since the age of 16, Wes chose to attend Long Island University to pursue a degree in Jazz Studies. After an abbreviated stay at Delaware State, Chris decided to go to New York to complete his Bachelors degree at Long Island University. That marked the beginning of the Supa Lowery Bros.
