At sixteen, Angie B. formed the female hip hop trio The Sequence with Cheryl The Pearl and Blondie. They were signed by Sugar Hill Records. The Sequence scored hits with Funk You Up, Monster Jam and Funky Sound.
During the 90's Angie was a member of the neo soul trio Vertical Hold, who made two albums: A Matter of Time (1993) and Head First (1995).
The talented singer-songwriter dated D'Angelo. Stone was responsible for the backing vocals and a fair amount of the songwriting on his first albums: Brown Sugar (1995) and Voodoo (2000). Unfortunately D'Angelo decided to focus on his super star sex symbol status instead of loving his female muse and altruistic mentor.
In 1996 Stone, Charlie Mole and Gerry DeVeaux formed Devox. The trio recorded one album: Devox Featuring Angie B. Stone.
Angie's vocals on Vertical Hold's popular track Seems You're Much Too Busy led to Angie's solo career.
Her debut solo album Black Diamond(1999, Arista) was followed by Mahogany Soul(2001, J Records). Her chart hitting third album Stone Love(2004) came a year before The Best of Angie Stone. The Art of Love & War(2007)'s single Baby, which featured Betty Wright, was nominated for best R&B Performance at the 2008 Grammy Awards. More recent albums include Unexpected(2010, Stax Records) and Rich Girl( 2012, Saguaro Road Records).
Angie Stone is a versatile polymath, utterly bursting with talent and passion. An activist, a poet, keyboardist, writer, basketball player, record and play producer, theatre and film actress and - last but not least- an amazing soul singer.
