The group’s energy and passion for bringing timeless R&B vibes to the forefront were palpable, making it clear why they call themselves “the next leaders of the new century of R&B.

“Marking Time” in Music

When asked about the origins of their name, the group members shared a deeper significance. “The name means marking time—this is our era to make our mark,” said one member, emphasizing that Sentury carries the torch for a genre steeped in history. Bridging the gap between “progressive R&B” and “soulful traditions,” they aim to honor legends like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson while carving out their own niche in today’s music landscape.
