How did you get your names Fetti and Beezy Mckee?
Beezy Mckee: I got my name in the hood. My real name Troy Banks so people started calling me T Beezy which was shortened to Beezy and I’m from a city close to Pittsburgh called Mckeesport. I consider myself a product of my environment so I added Mckee to my name to represent my city.
Fetti: I got my name at a young age from my school mates in middle school. I used to sell off candies I would steal from the store along with pencils, notebook books you name it I had it. Kids always used to say to me you always getting that Fetti so I ran with the name.

We bring a lot when it comes to performing. We get the crowd involved and shut the venue down!

We are solo artists but a group at the same time. But we’re more of a group then anything.
