The Sequence

Angela Laverne Brown (born January 30, 1961), best known by her stage name Angie Stone, is a Grammy Award-nominated American R&B, hip-hop, and neo soul singer, songwriter, keyboardist, record producer, and actress. Stone's music possesses a clear old school soul music influence, and her singing vocals recall those of Aretha Franklin.

[edit] Early years

Stone was born in Columbia, South Carolina. In the early 1980s, Stone (then known as Angie B.) was a member of The Sequence, a major female hip-hop/funk group. They had a hit in 1980 with "Funk You Up", which peaked at number fifteen on the U.S. Top Black Singles chart. She then worked with Mantronix, before teaming up and performing vocals and saxophone for Lenny Kravitz.

Stone emerged during the 1990s as part of R&B trio Vertical Hold which released the popular single "Seems You're Much Too Busy" as well as two albums: A Matter of Time (1993) and Head First (1995).

In 1996, she teamed up with Gerry DeVaux (Lenny Kravitz's cousin) and together with Charlie Mole they formed Devox. They recorded one album, Devox Featuring Angie B. Stone, released in Japan only on Toshiba-EMI, including Stone-penned material.

Stone shared songwriting credits on D'Angelo's first two studio albums, Brown Sugar (1995) and Voodoo (2000), as well as providing backing vocals on tour with him.

Her solo debut album, Black Diamond, was released on September 28, 1999 on Arista Records. She has since also released, on Clive Davis' J Records, Mahogany Soul on October 16, 2001 and Stone Love on July 6, 2004.

Much of Stone's solo material has significant hip-hop and soul influences and features notable samples. For example, her first solo single, "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" samples Gladys Knight & the Pips' 1972 "Neither One of Us (Want to Be the First to Say Goodbye)", and "Wish I Didn't Miss You" samples The O'Jays' 1972 "Back Stabbers".

Stone sings the theme song for the CW's sitcom Girlfriends. She has two children, a daughter and a son. The son is the child of neo soul singer D'Angelo, whom Stone dated during the 1990s.

[edit] 2006–current

Stone recently finished a stand-up theatre play tour entitled Issues: We've Got Them All in which she had a leading role. She is now appearing on the VH1's reality television series Celebrity Fit Club for the fourth season, which began on August 6, 2006. While on the show, Stone lost eighteen pounds, the second lowest loss in the history of the show.

Stone has had various Summer Festival dates lined up across America and also three headlining American shows in June and another two in the Netherlands in August.

During an interview on BBC 1Xtra on August 27, Stone announced that she had signed to the reworked Stax Records. She is currently working on an album which will be released sometime in 2007.[1]

Stone has also been touring with Sisters in the Spirit 2007.
