Intro is an American R&B trio from Brooklyn, New York City, New York & Queens, New York The trio consisted of members Jeff Sanders, Clinton "Buddy" Wike and lead singer/songwriter Kenny Greene. Formed in 1990,[1] the group was discovered by DJ Eddie F, who signed the group to Untouchables Entertainment, and struck a deal with Atlantic Records in 1992. The group name is an acronym for "Innovative New Talent Reaching Out".[2]
