Biography

Edmonds was born in Indianapolis in 1958. As a member of After 7, Edmonds had some successes, earning a platinum album as well as several gold singles. They continued to tour the country and established themselves as one of R&B's top performing groups. After their 1995 album, Reflections, After 7 left Virgin Records due to issues with the label. The departure from Virgin Records allowed the members to pursue their own personal projects and over time, saw the group separate.[1]

Edmonds then appeared with Babyface and K-Ci & JoJo for a project in a fictional group called Milestone. The group performed in the movie Soul Food and had a hit single with the track "I Care About You". For a brief period, Milestone nearly became a real group, instead of just the fictional group portrayed in the movie, but label conflicts caused the project to collapse.[2]

In 1999, Edmonds released his first solo album, 24/7. The title track from the album was a big hit, going gold and reaching #10 on the Hot 100. The album's second single, "No Love (I'm Not Used to)", performed moderately well, reaching #25 on the R&B charts.

Edmonds' second solo CD, Who Knew, was released October 13, 2009 through Make Entertainment/Image Distribution. The first single was released in early August and is titled "Oh."[3] </ref>
