Listeners have described the group as having a sound and image reminiscent of Fertile Ground and vibe similar to that of the Robert Glasper Experiment and The Roots. The Fruition Experience has been successful at developing a following in the DMV area with their own hosted quarterly festival called “The Experience LIVE” (A Conscious Music, Arts and Holistic Health Movement).

The band consists of soulful vocals and percussion by Ama Chandra. Dual Keyboards, Effects, Samples and Hip Hop style adlibs by band leader Aaron Hill. Smooth Vocal harmonies, effects and dual keyboards by Micah Smith. Bass by Anthony Jenkins and Drums and Electronic Percussion by Charles Wilson.
