Johnny Blackshire
Clean cut, smooth side of Blackshire. Don't let the laidback persona deceive you though. I AM a fire sign, and a LEO at that.I love to entertain. When not performing, writing, playing music, or recording; I am somewhere being seen. It could be in the middle of the dance floor at some trendy night spot, doing my second love which is basketball, or out eating with my girlfriends. You can actually get a feel of my personality in Blackshire's music. As far as women goes; I have broad horizons. I'm happy as long as they look forbidden. Preferably dark features. It doesn't matter if it's Black, White, Asian, Spanish, Indian, Italian, etc..... I love the essence of women. Being raised in a house full of women gave me a high level of sensitivity and respect for them. Although a fun-good time loving person, I am very serious when it comes to life, passion, and purpose. I feel that when you serve your purpose and passion: you can impact the whole world. Whether it be music, sports, politics, art, or business...etc.

DuJuan Blackshire
Is what you would call the hip hop and the edgy half of Blackshire. I am straight forward and blunt. You can also call me the head music producer. I do most of the tracks although Johnnie does a good part of the music too. I am also the technical side of Blackshire. That means I engineer in the studio, mix, and make sure the sound is right before we perform live. My favorite past time is watching movies and playing basketball too. I'm not big on going out to clubs but I love bars, festivals and concerts. I love to experience other cultures when it comes to food, music, and life in general. I'm always up for something out of the norm. I enjoy watching the SCi-Fi channel. When it comes to women; I like them edgy, exotic, and willing to ride a motorcycle. For the most part I can be a lone wolf. not that I have any disorders or anything because I really dont but I am perfectly fine with just being by myself. I tend to think a lot about the unknown and whats beyond the sky and I'm very interested in technology, like space travel as well as music. I like cutting hair and drawing which is something that ive been doing all my life. I dont like to dress up in suits for the most part, not really my thing. growing up as achild and going to church 7 days a week kinda threw me off that. but dont get it twisted I can dress up just not in suits. I love spending my time around real people, people that can actually bring something to the table in your life. chinese food is a plus for sure!
