~Monifah~ Monifa was raised in Spanish Harlem in Manhattan. Her family had a rich musical background and thus, encouraged her musical pursuits from an early age. Her mother would take her to audition for roles in musical theaters which helped her get a role in the off-Broadway production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' She attended LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts with schoolmates like Omar Epps and Marion Wayans. The experience she earned helped her get a spot as a back-up singer for Maxi Priest during his world tour. Her abilities brought her to the attention of Heavy D who signed her a deal with Uptown Records. Her debut album, Moods, Moments was released in 1996 and had several hits. 'I Miss You (Come Back Home)' received significant airplay and the hit 'You' managed to go gold. Continuing her success, Monifah released her sophomore album, Mo'Hogany in 1998. Driven by the hit 'Touch It' which reached #9 on the Hot 100, the album managed to go gold. Her final album, Home, was released in 2000 and was produced by Teddy Riley. The album had minor success, with one moderate hit single 'I Can Tell.'

The album peaked at #38 on the Billboard charts and has yet to go gold. The album continued Cox trend of having several number 1 hits on the Dance charts but failing to make an impression elsewhere. In 2007, Deborah Cox released an album, Destination Moon, which had a richer Jazz feel to it. The album was a tribute to singer Dinah Washington and was an ambitious work.

~Hmm. . .when you put it like that it makes sense i suppose but i wudnt necessarily use that method!Wudnt work for me,i wud feel like a part of me died! ~I curbed Some of my enthusiasm to shop/my spendthrift ways by going to stores w/ cash but determined i wudnt buy anything. . . .The demons i battled then. . I'd be the lady who spent the longest in store,the security guard or CCTV wud prolly be following me around by then thinking "Suspicious Behaviour"  I'd grab something, queue up then leave the queue,put the stuff back. . .browse around other stores & if the temptation was really bad,i'll end up back in the store. . .have a convo w/ the item/myself "I'm Not Buying!" ~ "Oh what Harm Wud It Be" ~ "Argh" . . . .sometimes i succumbed to the temptation and b/c i use to have this thing where i never take back something i'd bought,i had stuff i'd bought for ages & not even worn once! However once i shrugged off the uncomfy feeling of taking stuff back,for the times i did succumb to the temptation,i'll take the item back if i thoght i didnt Really need it . . . .which wasnt a lot of times BTW ~It has taken me years to gain some sort of "Will Power" that doesnt seem to work on [b]"Shoes" [/b]especially!

~Changing Faces~ Changing Faces is comprised of Cassandra Lucas of East Harlem, New York and Charisse Rose of Bronx, New York. The two girls met one another while studying at New York's Music and Art High School. Even so, the girls went their separate ways to pursue degrees at different universities with Lucas studying sociology at Hunter College and Rose studying criminal justice at John Jay. Nevertheless, both girls maintained an active interest in music and reunited when hired to do supporting vocals on tour with Sybil. The girls stuck with Sybil for two years before they made up their minds to go their own way and formed the duo Changing Faces. They worked nights together recording a demo tape but it was only when Kenny Smoove of Spoiled Rotten heard the girls singing on the street that they were signed. The group's self-titled debut album had the support of R. Kelly who wrote and produced the album's first two singles, 'Stroke You Up' and 'Foolin.'' Released in 1994, the album was driven by the strength of the aforementioned singles and went gold. 'Stroke You Up,' the first single, went platinum and reached #3 on the Hot 100. 'Foolin' Around,' the album's second single, reached #9 on the R&B charts. In 1997, the group followed up their debut with the album All Day All Night. The album featured the hit single, 'G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.' which is the group's only #1 R&B single to date. The single was produced by Kelly and went platinum, helping the album to gold status. Their last album, Visit Me, was released in 2000 and failed to make a significant impact on the charts. The album’s best single, ‘That Other Woman,’ reached #16 on the R&B charts.

~SWV, or Sisters With Voices SWV formed in 1990 as a group of three school friends. The group consisted of members Cheryl 'Coko' Gamble-Clemons (born 1974), Tamara 'Taj' Johnson-George (1974) and Leanne 'Lelee' Lyons (1973). The girls of SWV, like nearly all R&B artists, got their first experience in church. When Teddy Riley heard a demo tape SWV had created, he helped set the girls up. With his guidance, they released their debut album, It's About Time, in 1992. The album went triple platinum and had a string of top 10 hits. The first single 'Right Here' reached #16 on the R&B charts but was quickly one upped by the albums later singles. 'I'm So Into You' was SWV's first top 10 hit, reaching #2 on the R&B charts and #6 on the top 100. SWVs biggest hit from the album was it's third single, 'Weak.' SWV's 'Weak' was the girls only single to top the Hot 100. Continuing their success, the album's fourth single 'Right Here' reached #2 on the Hot 100. In 1996, SWV released their second album, New Beginning, which peaked at #9 on the charts. It had the #1 R&B hit 'You're The One' which likely helped drive the album to platinum status. SWV disbanded in 1998 after their third album, Release Some Tension, released in 1997, went gold. Coko, Lelee, and Taj finally reunited on stage for the first time in eight years for radio station KKBT 100.3 The Beat's Summer Jam concert in 2005. SWV reunited and announced plans to record a new album the following year.They have since toured together, doing various spot dates. Life After SWV Coko Coko was kept on by the label as a solo artist after SWV disbanded.She came out with a pair of solo albums; the mediocre selling, "Hot Coko" in 1999, and her premier Gospel entry, "Grateful" in 2006.In Addition,Coko went on to collaborate with everyone from Will Smith ("Men In Black" theme song) to L.S.G. ("All The Times" featuring Faith Evans and Missy Elliott). Coko, who is married to percussionist/producer Mike Clemons and has two sons, just received two GMA Dove Award nominations for "Grateful." She's also been doing spot dates on Fred Hammond's "Free To Worship" tour along with Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore. Her latest single, "I Get Joy," was the most added song at gospel radio Taj Taj is still married to former football player turned sports commentator Eddie George and they have two sons. Their life is being detailed in the TV One reality series 'I Married A Baller,' which debuts April 21.SWV members Coko and Lelee who sing the theme song along with Taj, appear in a couple of the show's episodes. This summer, the singer will publish her first book, 'Player HateHer: Why Can't Women Just Get Along?' (Amistad/Harper Collins). She also runs Visions with Infinite Possibilities (VIP), a non-profit organization founded by her husband to enrich the lives of women and children affected by domestic abuse. Taj was a contestant on reality the show Survivor: Tocantins. She will participate in a 2009 national tour of the Vagina Monologues with an all-black cast, most of whom are also former reality show contestants. Lelee Lelee has been through it all:The April 2007 issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine features an explosive article with ex-SWV member Leanne "Lelee" Lyons, who talks about becoming a mother at age 15, as well as being broke and homeless after the end of SWV, often having to spend the night in gay clubs. Among other things, Lelee says the $25,000 given to her as a parting gift by RCA ended up going toward the funeral and burial of her mother. Lelee has two children:a son named Khiry and a daughter named Margaret. LeLee has plans on launching an entertainment company to develop new artists. In addition, she recently shot a pilot for a syndicated radio show that she hopes will get picked up. She also commented about the online backlash from her Sister 2 Sister interview on her MySpace page. SWV had reunited and been on tour in 2007 and performed dates with After 7, Bobby Brown, New Edition, and Blackstreet. However, due to Coko's spirituality, she refused to sing many of the group's hit songs. As a result, the group halted their reunion efforts after a show on June 30, 2007. On June 24, 2008, SWV made a special appearance at the BET Awards of 2008, performing "Weak" with Alicia Keys. They also sang the chorus to TLC's "Waterfalls". Coko currently resides in Virginia Beach. Lelee currently resides in Atlanta and Taj currently resides in Nashville.[citation needed]. In 2008, producer Brian Alexander Morgan announced plans to re-release SWV's first album "It's About Time". In addition to past hits, the release is set to include six unreleased songs

Continuuing his success, Tevin scored another Top Ten R&B hit with 'Just Ask Me To' from Boyz in the Hood soundtrack. Having established himself with several hits, Tevin released his debut solo album T.E.V.I.N. in 1991. The album had several hit singles with the first 'Tell Me What You Want Me To Do' reaching #1 on the R&B charts. 'Goodbye,' the second single of the album reached #2 and 'Alone With You,' the album's fourth single was another #1 R&B hit. The album's third and fifth singles, 'Strawberry Letter' and 'Confused' failed to rival the previous singles success but the album still managed to go gold in 1992, as did 'Tell Me What You Want Me To Do.' With a well received album under his belt, Tevin came back guns blazing in 1993 with the album I'm Ready. The first single from the album 'Can We Talk' reached #1 on the R&B charts and hit #9 on the Hot 100. Following was the title track which hit #2 on the R&B charts and #9 on the Hot 100. Keeping the first going, the album's third single 'Always In My Heart' reached #6 on the R&B charts. With several hits jammed into the album, it managed to go double platinum and helped push T.E.V.I.N. to platinum status. Campbell's last big success was his appearance in the 1995 Disney movie A Goofy Movie. Tevin Campbell acted as the voice for the character Powerline and sang the songs 'Stand Out' and 'I2I.' In 1996, Tevin released the album Back To The World which was unpromoted. As a result, while the title single managed to reach #16 on the R&B charts, the rest failed to impress. The album did not even reach gold status. In 1999, Tevin released the album Tevin Campbell which performed even worse. During the same year, Campbell was part of a scandal in which he allegedly solicited MouthAction from an undercover policeman and was found with marijuana in his car. Campbell denies the report and has said in an interview that he is not heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. Instead, he feels he is experimental. In 2005, Campbell made his Broadway debut in the musical Hairspray. He performd as Seaweed J. Stubbs. Campbell is currently working on a new album due in late 2006. Discography (1991) - T.E.V.I.N.

~Case Woodard ~ Case was born in New York City and was signed to Def Soul records. He first started working in the R&B industry as a backup singer, working with big name R&B artists like Usher. In 1996, Case released his self-titled debut album. The album featured 'Touch Me Tease Me,' the hit single from The Nutty Professor. The single went gold, reaching #4 on the R&B charts and #14 on the Hot 100. Case's second album, Personal Conversation, was released in 1999 and went gold. The album featured the hit single 'Happily Ever After' which reached #3 on the R&B charts and #15 on the Hot 100. The album's other single, 'Think Of You' failed to do well on the charts, managing to only reach #50 on the R&B charts. Open Letter, Case's most well-known album was released in 2001. The album went gold, likely a result of the single 'Missing You.' 'Missing You' is Case's only #1 single to date as it topped the R&B charts and reached #4 on the Hot 100. A fourth album from Case, The Blaxl Rose Xperience, was expected to be released in 2004. However, Case was dropped from the label and talks of the album stopped. The album seems to have resurfaced and in 2008, Case planned to finally release The Rose Experience in the Fall. Case continues to tour, performing on the Ladies Night Out Tour in 2006 with Ginuwine, Jagged Edge and Donnell Jones. A great deal of Case's success has been due to his appearance on movie soundtracks. Many of Case's most popular tracks appear on the soundtracks for Nutty Professor, Rush Hour, Nutty Professor II and The Best Man. These singles were 'Touch Me Tease Me' (Nutty Professor), 'Faded Pictures' (Rush Hour), 'Best Man I Can Be' (The Best Man) and 'Missing You' (Nutty Professor II). After eight long years of waiting for R&B singer Case to follow-up on his hit third album, Open Letter, it's finally upon us. March 24, 2009, Case will be releasing his fourth album, The Rose Experience. Named for Case's alter ego, Blaxl Rose, Case is pushing the envelope with this album. His first album on an independent label, he's been given the opportunity to have creative control over the work, and it's quality is already evident in the album's successful first single, "Lovely." Despite his busy schedule as he continues to tour the country in promotion of the album, Case was able to take time out to talk with us at R&B Haven. In part two of our interview, Case talks about the album's various release dates, and what it was like working as an independent artist. And of course, an artist's work is never done, so Case also talks briefly about where things might go from here.

~Aaron Hall~ Aaron was born in 1964 in The Bronx, New York. He first established himself in the music industry as a member of the group Guy. The group was comprised of Hall, Teddy riley and Timmy Gatling and later on, Hall's brother Damian. During Hall's time with Guy from the 80s to the 90s, he became well-known for his lead singing on hits like 'Groove Me,' 'I Like,' and 'Let's Chill.' The group disbanded in 1991 but Hall's established name allowed him to continue on with a solo career. In 1992, Hall released a single from the movie Juice, titled 'Don't Be Afraid.' The single topped the R&B charts and opened the gates for Hall's debut album, The Truth which was released in 1993. Powered by the single 'I Miss You', The Truth went platinum. It had several singles that performed fair with 'When You Need Me' reaching #30 on the R&B charts and 'Let's Make Love' reaching #36. However, it was the track 'I Miss You' that put the album on the charts, reaching #14 on the Hot 100 and #2 on the R&B charts. The single managed to go gold. Hall worked on several projects with R. Kelly and caused many people to say that Kelly borrowed Hall's style. Working with other R&B singers, Kelly and Hall appear together on the song 'U Will Know' from the Jason's Lyric' soundtrack. In 1998, Aaron Hall released his second album, Inside of You. While it received more critical praise than his first album, Inside of You did not fair as well commercially. The album had one hit single, 'All The Places (I Will Kiss You)' which reached #8 on the R&B charts and #26 on the Hot 100. Two years later, Hall reunited with the other members of the group Guy and put out the album Guy III. Aaron Hall released his final album in 2005, titled Adults Only: The Final Album. On the opening track to the album, Hall stated that it would be his last album as a solo artist. Discography (1993) - The Truth (1998) - Inside Of You (2005) - Adults Only: The Final Album

~"Today, Ranks lives in New York City, and there is a rumor that he may be working out a record deal with Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Ranks made somewhat of a comeback in 2007 when he appeared on a song called "Clear The Air" by Busta Rhymes, which also features Akon." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNnr3t1oq… |

~Az Yet~ The group Az Yet was created over a long period of time. Shawn Rivera and Dion Allen met in 1990 and decided to form a group in Philadelphia. While in search for quality singers to join their group, the two men stumbled upon Kenny Terry and brought him into the group. The guys met Kenny when he was working at a hotel. As Dion and Shawn were leaving, they overheard Terry singing and invited him to join the group, expanding it to a trio. After working hard to get the attention of labels, the group scored big when their demo fell into the hands of Jacqueline McQuam. McQuam was a business woman in Los Angeles who was so impressed by the guys that she signed a deal to act as their manager. This agreement was crucial for the guys because McQuam’s son-in-law was Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Babyface heard the guys sing and was impressed enough that he signed them to LaFace records and had them open his concert with After 7 and El Debarge. As the group signed to LaFace, they added Darryl Anthony to their line-up to replace a member who had left. Babyface and the LaFace team had the group add one more member, Marc Nelson (who had actually been with the group Boyz II Men prior to their first release), to round out the group’s line-up and serve as a second lead vocalist. Prior to joining the group, Marc had been a long-time friend of Dion’s, making him a perfect fit for the group. Az Yet released their self-titled debut album in 1996 on LaFace records. Their first album featured the hit single 'Last Night' which reached #1 on the R&B charts and #9 on the Hot 100. The album's second single, 'Hard To Say I'm Sorry,' hit #8 on the Hot 100 and achieved platinum status ('Last Night' went gold). Driven by the two singles, the album managed to eventually go platinum in 2002. Following the group's debut album, they went through a period of roster changes. First, Marc Nelson left the group for a solo career and was replaced by Tony Grant. With this line-up, the group recorded the single "You're The Inspiration" with Chicago's Peter Cetera. Tony Grant left the group in 2001 to pursue a career in theatre that includes Tyler Perry's The Marriage Counselor play and the solo album Grant Life which was released in 2007. Grant was then replaced with LeDon Bishop. The group was dropped by LaFace and eventually was reformed with only Darryl Anthony remaining of the group's original members. This new line-up released a collection of tracks in 2004 titled, That B U, which was a dual disc (it featured a DVD on the reverse side). Darryl Anthony's Az Yet left the scene in 2007 and a revival of the original group was introduced. This latest iteration of Az Yet is comprised of original members Dion, Shawn, Marc and Kenny. Together, the men of Az Yet are working hard on releasing a new album, with the new track "Share Life" being featured on the group's MySpace. Discography (1996) - Az Yet
