By the time he hit 18, D'Angelo was a three time Amateur Night at the Apollo winner and a member of a rap act called I.D.U. It was through a demo tape of that now forgotten act that D'Angelo first caught the ears of the industry. A record exec was impressed with I.D.U's tracks and asked to meet the man behind them.
In 1991 D'Angelo was signed to a publishing deal, which would eventually lead to his recording deal with EMI Records. In 1994, D'Angelo co-wrote and co-produced the anthem "U Will Know" which was the lead off single from the Jason's Lyric Soundtrack.
In 1995, Brown Sugar hit the streets and D'Angelo became a household name. Pumping out hot hits like "Me & Those Dreamy Eyes of Mine", "Lady" and of course "Brown Sugar".
