Twenty 4 Seven is a Dutch Eurodance group formed in 1989 by Dutch producer Ruud van Rijen and American rapper/producer Tony Dawson-Harrison (Captain Hollywood). The project is best known in Europe for the hit singles "I Can't Stand It", "Are You Dreaming?", "Slave to the Music", "Is It Love" and "Take Me Away."

Twenty 4 Seven was formed in 1989 by Dutch producer Ruud van Rijen and American producer/rapper/dancer Tony Dawson-Harrison (Captain Hollywood) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In the beginning stages, the project consisted of Dutch singer Nancy "Nance" Coolen and Dutch rapper Ricardo Overman (MC Fixxit). The single "I Can't Stand It" was released early in 1989 featuring vocals from Coolen and Overman. After having internal disputes with van Rijen, Overman left the team shortly after the release of the debut single. In response to Overman's departure from the act, Harrison chose to step out of his producer role to become the new front man and rapper of the project. Dancers Giovanni Falco (Hanks) and Wolfgang Reiss (Jacks) were recruited by Harrison to front the act alongside himself and Coolen. The project name was also modified to "Twenty 4 Seven featuring Captain Hollywood."' The group's innovative new mixture of traditional male raps and female singing choruses proved to be a massive success across Europe. "I Can't Stand It" charted at No.3 in Israel and at No.7 in the United Kingdom. The next single, "Are You Dreaming?" charted at No. 17 in the United Kingdom. In 1990, Street Moves, the project's debut album was released.
