5. Groove Theory
Groove Theory was formed by Amel Larrieux and Bryce Wilson in 1993. Bryce was also a songwriter, actor and producer. The duo’s debut album was released two years later. Their musical genre was harder to pinpoint than most artists – to listeners it sounded like a combination of Soul, R&B and Smooth.
Unfortunately, they split up in 1999, and Mekada Davis took Amel’s place as female singer. The Answer, the second album that never ended up getting released, had a bit of a more contemporary R&B vibe to it. Since the recordings have stopped, Bryce and Mekada have collaborated in writing songs for popular artists like Beyonce. Bryce took a role in Beauty Shop, which featured Queen Latifah.
Amel made a comeback in 2003 with her husband Laru, and released some albums and songs under Blisslife records, an Indie label.
