The 1990s After completing his LDS Church mission, Boyé became a
backup dancer, including for
George Michael. Awesome performed at local dances and other small venues until 1996 when they won a vocal competition on
Capital Radio, London's largest radio station. Subsequently,
Universal Records of Europe signed Awesome to a five-album recording contract. Awesome released three singles off their first album,
