- Provision is an electronic musical group based in Houston, Texas. Provision was founded in November 2000 by Breye Kiser (aka Breye 7x - Formerly of U-N-I and Bamboo Crisis) and Leslie Hyman (aka Sonitis - Formerly of U-N-I and Wraith). Provision's music is self described as "Electronic Dance Music with an Edge". With 10 years of experience in former electronic acts, Leslie and Breye infused classic progressive dance, with industrial dance & synthpop. Provision's music is known for passionate, dark, and aggressive songs of lust, love, society, and humanity. A Sound filled with pure dance floor emotion, non stop energy, and lyrics that tug at the heart. Over the last 9 years, Provision has crafted what can only be called "The Provision Sound" - Truly a unique formula of their own. At barely over a year old, Provision performed at Synthcon 2002 where they won "Best New U.S. Artist" in the American Synthpop Awards; thus solidifying their name and sound in the American Synthpop Scene. Provision's relentless self promotion and performances during their Liberation (Regional) and Evaporate U.S. Tours, quickly gained the attention of Electronic Record Labels in the U.S. and abroad. For 6 years straight (2001 - 2006) Provision was widely known in the U.S. for performing live shows with incredible energy, frequency, and winning new fans wherever they went. Provision has always been widely regarded as a staple support act in the U.S. electronic music scene having opened such acts as Red Flag, Anything Box, Cosmicity, Imperative Reaction, The Human League, Cause & Effect, Cut Rate Box, Icon of Coil, System Syn, The Cruxshadows, Assemblage 23, God Module, CTRL, B!Machine, and Cesium_137 among others... From 2001 to 2006 Provision released 3 albums, 4 E.P. 's, appeared on numerous compilations; and produced remixes for other electronic artists. During this 5 year time period, Provision did 2 U.S. Tours for the albums "Evaporate" and "Visualize", and numerous regional tours in support of their E.P. 's; and continued to support other electronic artists on tour in the U.S. Provision also performed live at many electronic music festivals during this time including Gothcon II, Synthcon 2002, ADD2K4, ADD2K5, ADD2K6, SiNthetik Sk13s II, III & IV, Electro-Nexus, Summer Synthpop Festival 2003, Synthfest 2004, and as a vendor for A Different Drum at Convergence 10 in Chicago. In September 2007, the line up of Breye 7x, Jen Foxx, Carlos Covarrubias, and Randon Harris; amicably disbanded as Provision. The decision was made so the individual members could explore other musical endeavors and spend time with their families.
