The Band was started in 1992, by Andy Hewitt (Bass and Vocals). His love for music and desire to play in a band, prompted him to enlist his school friends, Adrian Reeves (Trumpet), and Jean Fidelia (Tenor Sax), along with his brother John Hewitt (Keyboard), to start the band. Seeing the need for more versatility to "branch out" to other forms of Music, such as Ballads, Oldies, and Lovers Rock, Barbados' popular balladeer, Lee Grant joined the group As the band started to grow, the need for an engineer became increasingly important. Since the band wanted a distinct sound that would differentiate them from the other bands, Technic then inducted Ronald Haynes as the Engineer for their performances. Later, Ronny Kirton (Vocals), Orlando Hinds (Vocals), Carl Hugh (Guitar) and Kerwin Alexander (Drums) were the last to join the band.

Technic has weathered many pitfalls and roadblocks that can arise in the music business and have stayed the course. They have endured many changes and suffered disappointments. But they continue to learn from these experiences and continue to grow professionally in the music industry. The band has played successful engagements in Canada, and various places in the United States such as: Florida, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Maryland, Atlanta, New Jersey, and Chicago. And they continue to be one of the most popular bands in the West Indian Community, in the Metropolitan New York Area.

By providing musical backing to a fine standard for such artists as: Red Plastic Bag, Mac Fingall, Mr. Dale, Biggie Irie, Gabby, Baron and Iwer George, just to name a few. Technic has shown that their level of musicianship is unsurpassed in New York.
