Qwanell, better known as "Que," was selected as one of Starz in Motion's first Semi-Finalists at the debut of Shooting Starz Talent Competition back in March 2006 at the ABA League Championship Game in Rochester, New York. He auditioned at the local Rochester open auditions and won the spot to perform at the game, where he competed against 5 other artists. The crowd had a tough choice determining the winner between Que and "The Krew." Although Que was not the audience choice at this time, primarily due to song selection, his passion drove him further to try out for "Making the Band," where his talent, charisma, and dedication proved successful.
