Biography
In 1994, Tela-C started the project, with member Decem joining in the following year. The members stayed overseas in places such as New York and Jamaica in 1998, and in 2002 started focusing on music properly. The group played at many clubs throughout Japan, and in 2004 won Club Citta's Sound Clash Tournament in Kawasaki.
Between 2005 and 2007, the group released six albums independently. In March 2007, the group won at the World Reggae Soundclash in Brooklyn, New York (in the International Cup‐Garrison Showdown category).[1]
In 2007, Infinity 16 debuted under the major label Far Eastern Tribe Records, with the single "Dream Land" (with Shōnan no Kaze, Minmi and Moomin). At the same time, member Decem left the project.
