Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Maxwell was enormously important in defining and shaping the neo-soul movement that rose to prominence over the latter half of the '90s. Drawing his greatest inspiration from the concept of the R&B auteur, Maxwell recorded some of the most ambitious R&B of his time, becoming wildly popular and often earning critical raves in the process. His recurring theme of romantic monogamy set him apart from the vast majority of his bump'n'grind lover-man contemporaries.

A native of north Philadelphia, Jill Scott began her performing career reading her own poetry. She was heard by Amir, drummer in the Roots, who invited her to join the band in the studio. The result was the co-composition, "You Got Me," a Top 40 pop hit in 1999. Subsequently, she collaborated with Eric Benet, Will Smith, and Common and broadened her performing experience by touring Canada in a production of the Broadway musical Rent.
