An accomplished songwriter, producer and remixer, R. Kelly has written and produced for Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Kelly Price, Toni Braxton, Mary J Blige and Luther Vandross -- just to name a few! R. Kelly has also won Grammy Awards, sold multi-platinum albums across the world, achieved No.1 singles and performed sell-out tours wherever he performs.

It was in 1991 that R. Kelly signed to Jive Records. He locked himself away in a recording studio and began to write, sing and learn as many instruments as he could to play on his debut album. The result was 'Born Into The '90s' which was released in 1992 to critical acclaim. 'Born' was a mix of soul, swing beats infused with rap and pure attitude and the album struck gold with music lovers going platinum in the USA. R. Kelly's first UK tour in 1992 had him performing three sell-out shows at the Hammersmith Apollo. On his next tour 18 months later, the number of sell-out shows increased to five at the same venue plus a date in Wolverhampton.
