YOSO
The term “Super-Group” can only describe the formation of two of the most creative and musical legendary bands of the past 30 years into the new band YOSO. Formed out of TOTO’s brilliant vocalist Bobby Kimball and the creative force of YES members, Tony Kaye and Billy Sherwood, it does indeed equal the magic of YES with the voice of TOTO. However, YOSO is much more than a combination of two classic rock groups. YOSO has combined their musical talents to produce an album of new music.
Their debut album is soon be released.

Recognized for being the voice of multi-Grammy award winning band Toto, Bobby Kimball has been sharing his passion since the 1970's. First as vocalist in various New Orleans area bands, including The Levee Band (which later would become Le Roux). In 1976, Bobby joined S.S. Fools in which he was the lead vocalist as well as keyboard player (along with 3 members from the band Three Dog Night). Bobby was asked by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, the two initial founding members of Toto, to join the five session musicians to form Toto and together were responsible for hits such as Roseanna, Africa, and Hold the Line.

Producer and multi-instrumentalist Billy Sherwood began his professional musical career at age 15.
Along with his brother Michael and fellow Yoso/CIRCA: bandmate Jimmy Haun, their band Lodgic recorded Nomadic Sands in 1980.
Shortly after the breakup of the band Billy formed World Trade which garnered the attention of Chris Squire of YES.
Together Billy and Chris formed The Squire Experiment which eventually evolved into Conspiracy and the subsequent release of 2 albums and a dvd.
During this time Billy began working with YES as producer (Keys to Ascension II) as well as co-writer of songs such as "The More We Live".
Billy joined YES onstage during the Talk tour and shortly thereafter was asked to join the band as an additional voice and guitar.
As a member of YES, Billy participated in the writing, performing and touring live of Open Your Eyes (which he also produced) and The Ladder.
After leaving YES Billy focused his energies as producer. As producer of albums such as Grammy nominated Muddy Water's Tribute by Paul Rodgers and
Back Against the Wall - a tribute to Pink Floyd, Billy has gained a reputation in the music industry for projects packed with top notch musicianship.
In 2006 Billy formed CIRCA: along with fellow YES men Tony Kaye on keyboards and Alan White on drums, and fellow Lodgic bandmate and lifelong friend Jimmy Haun.
CIRCA:'s debut album and live dvd were released with this lineup. When YES began touring again, Jay Schellen took the drummer seat and the band released their second
studio album "CIRCA: HQ".
