About The Lineup
Boyz II Men are the best-selling R&B group of all time, with more than 64 million albums sold. Their prestigious accolades include four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and dual Hall of Fame inductions.
With their iconic voices and smooth harmonies, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman spent the ’90s creating timeless songs that still resonate decades later. They include End of the Road – which stayed at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks, breaking the record previously held by Elvis Presley – and I’ll Make Love To You, which both hit number one in Australia and New Zealand. Then there’s One Sweet Day (with Mariah Carey), On Bended Knee and Motownphilly – classic hits that have carried from the CD era to streaming with ease.
There’s a reason Salt-N-Pepa are the first female hip-hop act inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandra “Pepa” Denton and DJ Spinderella – “The First Ladies of Rap” – changed the game forever, blazing a trail for countless female artists and selling more than 15 million records along the way. They not only broke down barriers, they championed female sexuality and delivered anthem after anthem, from Push It to Shoop, Whatta Man (with En Vogue) to Let’s Talk About Sex. In 1995 they made Grammy history as the first female rap act to win a Grammy Award, before receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 and earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their legacy of empowerment, resilience and joy continues to resonate across generations, and it’s no surprise they remain one of the most in-demand live acts.
Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe helped redefine popular music by pioneering the new jack swing movement, blending R&B harmonies, hip-hop beats and pop melodies into a groundbreaking sound that changed the '90s landscape. Their quadruple-platinum debut, Poison, became a cultural phenomenon, producing timeless hits including Poison, Do Me! and B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?. More than three decades later, Bell Biv DeVoe remain one of the most iconic and in-demand groups in music, continuing to headline arenas and major tours, performing with Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Fourth of July, an appearance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and winning an Emmy Award for their documentary Bell Biv DeVoe @ Fenway. Their influence on popular music and ability to captivate audiences across generations continues to make Bell Biv DeVoe one of the most celebrated acts in R&B and hip-hop today.
