Dwayne Wiggins
Before releasing his solo album Dwayne
Wiggins' rich history with Oakland, CA 's Tony!
Toni! Toné! — also including his brother, Raphael Saadiq, and their cousin,
Timothy
Christian — includes 14 Billboard charting R&B singles, of which five number one
hits,
three top 10 Pop singles, one gold album, two platinum albums and one double
platinum
album. The trio also appeared in the movie House Party 2 where Wiggins adheres
to the
group's sense of freshness, respect of the old school ethic and sense of humor.
Much like his brother, Wiggins has also pursued his own writing and production
projects.
As well as also working with Laurnea, he has collaborated with Jody Watley and
signed
production deals with Blu (Out of the Blu: Motown, 1995), and more significantly
Destiny's
Child, through his Grass Roots entertainment set-up. However, as a highly
talented singer,
songwriter, musician and producer it was only to be a matter of time before he
delivered his
own solo project. Released through the revamped Motown, "Eyes Never Lie" fits
perfectly
into the Neo-Classic Soul movement propagated by label-head Kedar Massenburg
through
the likes of Vertical Hold, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Chico DeBarge.
