The Invaders Talk Normani Kordei's Fifth Harmony Come-Up & Those Sultry New Mashups

Back before Fifth Harmony was born, before the world tours and two albums, Normani Kordei was a student at Key Innovations Music School, where Scott David became not only her vocal coach, but the person who would help her craft her artistic vision. In Houston, Kordei's mom sent her off to vocal lessons, where Normani and David would eventually prep for X Factor. From there, she caught Simon Cowell's attention, and, well, you know the rest: Fifth Harmony happened.

But now, with 5H whittled down to four singers after Camila Cabello left the group to go solo, the remaining members are trying to show their talents outside of the group. And to do that, Normani went back to where it all started—with Scott David.

Together with his cousin Tyce, David produces under the moniker The Invaders, the masterminds behind Normani's most recent mashups. In December, we heard her meld together Drake's "Fake Love" and "Sneakin'," and on Thursday, she dropped her version of Solange's "Don't Touch My Hair" and "Cranes in the Sky."

The Invaders, which infuses fashion, design and video into their work as well, also had their hand in Move In Psylence, a short video project that used Normani as their muse. Last December, they put together her cover of Tory Lanez's "Say It." Their other music credits include production for Dawn Richards, Ashley Roberts (of Pussycat Dolls) and Josh Levi (X Factor alum in new boyband Citizen Four), along with up-and-coming artists they're priming for recording contracts.

We talked to David about teaming up with Kordei, their longtime friendship and the kind of music they'll be working on in the future:
