About
In 2005, Profound Intent was born in Washington, D.C., when LaPret held auditions for choosing Jahnae "Misty" Johnson (as Lead Singer) and Devan "Lil'Ace" Brockenberry (as a Vocalist); Kie'Arra "Mizz Redz" Pretlow later became the group's fourth original member by the start of 2006. LaPret formed the group to promote positive trends and morals for all youth, after learning the youth homicide rate in Washington, D.C. alone. The group began performing as a spoken word group in Suitland, Maryland at the Annabelle Ferguson Auditorium for a non-profit organization called “Christian Stars”; since then the group has traveled North America, gaining fame worldwide. Singer Kelly Price briefly mentored the group in 2006. The group has won 7 GarageBand awards. In summer 2007 several of the groups singles slated for their Debut EP "Still Profound", were leaked; despite having made them more popular, the October 16, 2007 release of the EP was canceled indefinitely.
Present
