[edit]Band Origins

Prior to joining the band, Johnson was a professional dancer, performing for such artists as Rihanna, Santigold, Jason Derulo, Ricky Martin, Cassie, P. Diddy, LL Cool J, Nelly, and Daddy Yankee.[2][3][4] In 2006, she made an appearance in the video "Long Way To Go" by Cassie.[5]
Meanwhile, Hrdina and both Machinists were in a band called Stalley & The Wax Machine[6], which broke up in early 2008. Shinobi Ninja formed shortly afterward. Several members of the band met at a rehearsal and recording studio called Progressive Music in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York City. Aaron, Simone, and M. Machinist worked at the studio, and Johnson took vocal classes there.
In 2010, their original bass player Simone left the band, and Confurius replaced him.
