An urban chanteuse by birth, Amel Larrieux grew up in a West Village 'artists building' in New York City, her parents exposing her early to a community of artists and artistic experiences that would mold her eclectic sensibilities. At the age of 18, sure that she wanted to express herself musically, Amel wrote and demoed a song, which led to her pairing with Bryce Wilson to form the duo Groove Theory. As lead vocalist and co¬?writer for the group, she enjoyed success with 'Tell Me,' which broke the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top five on the R&B charts before being certified gold in October 1995.
