Maxwell, born Gerald Maxwell Rivera in 1973, emerged as a prominent figure in neo-soul music in the mid-'90s. Hailing from Brooklyn, he was influenced by early '80s pop-soul and self-taught music. In 1996, his debut album, "Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite," garnered commercial success with hits like "Ascension (Don’t Ever Wonder)." His versatility shone on "MTV Unplugged," featuring covers of Nine Inch Nails and Kate Bush. Albums like "Embrya" (1998) and "Now" showcased his progressive soul and iconic tracks like “This Woman’s Work.” After a hiatus, he returned with the acclaimed "BLACKsummers’night" in 2009, followed by "blackSUMMERS’night" in 2016, solidifying his status as an R&B luminary.
