Maxwell helped define the neo-soul movement of the late '90s. His debut project, "Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite," was a romantic concept album that not only received critical and commercial success, but also garnered a Grammy nod. The multi-platinum artist hails from Brooklyn, NY. He was writing his own songs at age 17 and, soon after, began performing on the local club scene. His new release, the long-awaited "Black Summer Nights," is the first in a trilogy of LPs to be released over the next three years.
