About TFP

TFP aka the Factor Project is the evolution of our combined musical worlds (acoustical, grunge, metal, hip hop, R&B and rock and roll). Formed in Newark, OH in October of 2011 by Shawn “Chaos” Peters and Kevin Lawson.
After spending a year working out a set of original music and trying to find a perfect mix of talent, chemistry, attitude, and drive in a musical entity, bassist Aaron Moody fell into the spot perfectly! Moody joined the project around November of 2012. TFP hit the studio to start work on the illusive first album on December 31, 2012. The album was independently recorded and later released in May of 2013 with the title “TFP”. No time was to be wasted. Following their first studio session they walked onto the stage on January 5th, 2013. Things were really starting to come together and the adventure began. However the search continued, as they still needed a fourth.
Throughout 2013 TFP auditioned, recruited, rented, borrowed and searched for the perfect fit, the glue that would hold everything together. This was not an easy task, but it didn’t slow them down.
18 months, 27 shows, and 16 drummers later….
Now the year is 2014 and a hip-hop artist, Kronik, has come all the way from Parkersburg, WV to bring the intrinsic, hypnotic beats that help to evolve TFP into a rock-poetry fusion. Borrowing a kit from his old high school to audition, Kronik showed up more drive and determination than any of the previous candidates. Taking time to listen to each song and study it until it became second nature to play.
Finally TFP was whole and it was time to turn on the heat. “The goal is for a sustainable musical career” says Moody. “Fame would be awesome, but honestly we don’t care as long as we get to write and share our music.” Hard work and dedication seemed to come naturally with everything they approached. 2014 was no less of a year than the one before. TFP put another 28 shows under their belt, 9 of those were just in August that year. Rolling into 2015 TFP hit the studio to begin work on “Evolution”.
“Prepare your minds, your ears and eyes for what is to happen next. We are after one thing and one thing alone: to be heard. So sit back and enjoy the ride! This story is just beginning. Let’s fill some ears and souls with music and maybe even a little inspiration.” -TFP
