Biography

"I learned at an early age that what we were doing in the choir was just as important as the preacher. It was a ministry in itself."

  • Born Michael Eugene Archer on Feb. 11, 1974, in Richmond, Virginia
     
  • D'Angelo exploded onto the scene in 1995 with his debut solo album Brown Sugar and its charting singles "Lady," "Cruisin'" and "Brown Sugar." After a nearly five-year break from recording, D'Angelo returned with Voodoo, released in 2000, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured the hit "Untitled (How Does It Feel)."
     
  • At the 43rd GRAMMY Awards, D'Angelo won his first two GRAMMYs for Best R&B Album (Voodoo) and Best Male R&B Performance ("Untitled [How Does It Feel]."
     
  • He made his GRAMMY stage debut at the 38th GRAMMY Awards when he joined Tony Rich for a tribute to Stevie Wonder. The duo performed "Superstition," "Living For The City," "I Wish," and "Higher Ground." 
     
  • Did you know? At age 18, D'Angelo was part of an R&B group that won the famed amateur night competition at New York's Apollo Theater for three weeks in a row.
     
  • A portion of monies raised from D'Angelo's Voodoo II tour in 2000 was donated to the Magic Johnson Foundation to raise money for scholarships and financial aid for qualified minority students.
