It all started with an invitation to play at George Clinton's birthday party on July 22, 1998. The brain child of Zack "#9" Roberson, this Funky group of young men and women began this amazing trip together on the stage of the Lion's Den, in the East Village of New York City and we are still Funking it up today!! The band was born on Long Island & Queens. NY. The free styling New York City Hippie scene allowed the creativity of  The Nappy Head Funk Army to showcase their talent and just plain rip it up! Having a direct Mothership Connection, it's so cool to interact and draw great crowds with our electric energy at all of our shows and drop our own style of Funk music! 

The NHFA music is live, in-yo-Face FUNK, with an emphasis on the sounds we all grew up with.. Such as James Brown, Bootsy Collins, George Cinton, Bernie Worrell, (P-FUNK), Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, Mother's Finest, Betty Davis, Nona Hendrix, Chaka Khan, Marcus Miller, Led Zeppelin, Edgar Winter, Chicago, Kool and the Gang, Dumpstaphunk, and all of the Mothers and Fathers of  FUNK...The NHFA made the front page... NYC Village Voice Review (Nappyhead is a direct seed of George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and the P-Funk Allstars; it's like they were waiting in the weeds to grow after P-Funk sowed the seeds...)

As The NHFA embarks on this new FUNK Journey, our Funk Family is pumped up and primed to deliver the best live shows ever, spreading Peace, Love, and Harmony to the world like Bob Marley. We are a group of dedicated men and women that are ready to serve the Universal Law of Love through our unique style of Funk Music and change the world!
