The group has won a host of prestigious awards, forged powerful musical partnerships, and performed all around the nation-including at the White House- bringing awareness about violence and a message of peace and love to the masses. An active advocate against gun violence and towards accessibility for people with disabilities, Namel also works as a mentor for others that have experienced gun violence, is a founding member of RAMPD (Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities), and most recently, was awarded a voting member of the Grammys.  Learn more about 4Wheel City- www.4wheelcity.com
