History [ edit ]
Guitarist José Ríos and keyboardist Ron Avant met Anderson .Paak while studying at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California in the late 2000's.[4] [5] Shafiq Huisayn . Free Nationals is a term which means the first settlers of America before Columbus came, the people indigenous to the land.
