The Monsters originated as a team in 2008, when Stefan Johnson began to engineer for Miami artist and songwriter Alexander "
Eskeerdo" Izquierdo. At the time Johnson was an in-demand engineer working with major artists like
Rick Ross,
Pitbull, and
Diddy. Shortly after meeting Eskeerdo and Johnson along with his brother and producer Jordan Johnson formed The Monsters. The Strangerz met through a mutual friend in high school in early 2005. Marcus "MarcLo" Lomax is the son of a pastor and a multi-instrumentalist; he began his musical career in his father's church band. Clarence Coffee Jr. is the son of a gospel singer; he grew up perfecting his vocals and melodies after being inspired by his family's passion for music. The Monsters & Strangerz were introduced to each other in late 2010. The group frequently collaborates on songwriting and production with American singer-songwriter, rapper and producer
