Supafly (also known as Supafly Inc.) are an English dance act, composed of Panos Liassi (Mister P) and Andrew Tumi (wOne).
Supafly is best known for 2005's "Let's Get Down", which was a club hit around the world and used by the Australian television network FOX8 as their summer theme song; and for "Moving Too Fast" in late 2006, which sampled the Phil Collins' hit "Another Day in Paradise". Supafly picked up the Best Newcomer Award at the 2006 Urban Music Awards.[1]
Supafly's sound is a blend of reggae, hip hop and dance. Their success has led them to sold out tours, performing to crowds of up to 25,000.[1]
Now London based, the essence of their sun-filled sound developed partly from Mister P and wOne's stint in Australia. Inspired by the sunshine and the live music scene in Melbourne, their time away proved to be an inspiration for Supafly's signature tune, "Let's Get Down". It was written on one of the hottest days in Australia's history.[2]
wOne is an accomplished British-Ghanaian singer, songwriter and producer. He has collaborated on several seminal dance hits and enjoyed a successful career spanning more than fifteen years with Supafly. wOne was involved in creating the genre "Afro-sexy" through his dance events "wOne dance" featuring pounding West African rhythms fused with euphoric house.
Mister P (Panos Liassi) was involved in the production of the singles "Passion" by Amen! UK; "Ripped in 2 Minutes" by A vs B; "Lover" (featuring Rachel McFarlane), "Pleasure Love" by De Funk and the Supafly Inc songs "Let's Get Down" and "Moving Too Fast". In the 1990s, he worked with A Homeboy Hippie and Funky Dread and was part of "Project One", "Blu Room", "Rated Pg", "London Fiesta" & "Apollo". Mister P produced some house and jungle/drum and bass tracks during this time, usually with collaborators. He went on to claim credit as the man behind acts such as Amen UK (Positiva Records), De Funk (Sony), A vs. B (Positiva), and co-produced "Pacjam" by Eye Industries.
In addition, Mister P's credits include remixing for Annie Lennox, Prince, Ricky Martin, Cher, David Morales, Goldie, Coolio, D:Ream, Edwin Starr, Livin' Joy and Kathy Brown.
