Playa Deception
L-R: Jay, Donnie, Matt, & Steve

You’ve seen them on MTV’s “Becoming O-Town”, and heard about them all over New York, but allow us to formally introduce you to FANVASION’s ‘Summer Spotlight Artist’ — Playa Deception! These guys are incredibly sweet, good looking, and amazingly talented.

We got a chance to ask PD’s Matt LaPorte a few questions about their music and plans for the future, check out what he had to say!

 

Many people might recognize you from MTV’s Becoming when you performed as O-Town. What was that like for you guys?
That was an awesome experience for us and we learned a lot about being a group from it, but now we are moving out of that shadow and we have a whole new style and approach to the music industry.

So, how did Playa Deception come about?
Matt LaPorte: My brother Jay and I have been singing together for a long time for we decided to start recording music onto a computer until I met Donnie and Steve in high school about four years ago and we were all just four guys with the same dream.

Your name is very unique…how did you come up with it?
We feel that our style is different and we have a rap edge and we feel we can stay in the rap game, yet we also have the look and sound of a Pop/R&B group. So, it’s a ‘playas’ style, but on the other hand it is just a deception because we love making girls go weak in the knees with our “boy band” look.

Have you always been into music? What made you get into singing?
We have all loved music and been into music and singing from young ages. The influence of other groups and being able to change peoples life with the lyrics of our songs.

Which artist would you say has a big influence on you guys, individually or as a group?
As a group we would have to say O-Town & B2K, but individually ranges from artists like Eminem, 50 cent, Fabolous to Boys II Men.

You had your first show at the Downtown back in January, how was that for you?
That was a great experience for us to do what we love to do and perform for our fans but we hope to improve greatly in our upcoming shows.

What process do you go through when writing a song?
Listening to a beat and writing down whatever comes to mind, or experiencing something in life and writing your feelings onto paper.
