According to online sources, Legacy, from the group the New Boyz, was born on October 12 1991. This means he is currently 19 years old. Legacy's real name is Dominic Thomas. He was born in, and grew up in, California. Legacy makes up half of the hip-hop /rap and "jerkin'" dancing style duo called the New Boyz. The other member of the New Boyz is Ben J, whose real name is Earl Benjamin. Ben J was born one day after Legacy, on October 13 1991.
The two boys met at their high school in California, where they were originally rivals. However, they became united as friends after discovering their mutual appreciation and adoration of music. The two boys used birthday money in order to buy their own recording equipment, allowing them to create their own music. They set up a page on the social networking website MySpace, which they used this page to promote their music - the first song to appear on the page was their single "Colorz". Despite this, the New Boyz did not reach appear on the national stage until 2009, when their single "You're a Jerk" was released, reaching number 24 of the Billboard Hot 100. This song, along with their "jerkin'" style of dancing, catapulted the New Boyz to nationwide fame. Shortly after the success of their single, the album "Skinny Jeanz and a Mic" was released in September. The album contained collaborations with artists such as Ray J, and reached number 56 in the US charts. The New Boyz second album, "Too Cool to Care", was released in 2011, and was more successful than "Skinny Jeanz and a Mic", reaching number 41 on the US charts. Singles from the New Boyz include:
• You're A Jerk
• Tie Me Down
• Break My Bank
• Back Seat
• Better with the Lights Off
