A five-time Grammy-nominated American R&B singer-songwriter. Campbell scored a string of R&B chart hits as a teenager in the early to mid-1990s. Like Usher and Marques Houston, Campbell transitioned from child singer to adult R&B crooner, and he is a recognizable figure in the New Jack Swing genre of music. Campbell was introduced to the R&B by Quincy Jones in August 1989. Campbell`s debut single was "Tomorrow (A Better You Better Me)" which reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip hop Singles chart in June 1990. It was the lead single from Quincy Jones` critically acclaimed ensemble LP Back on the Block which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1991. After working with Jones and writers and producers including Siedah Garrett[4], Campbell worked with producers Narada Michael Walden, Al B. Sure, Babyface, and others to record additional music.

Campbell`s first solo hit was "Round and Round", which charted at #3 on R&B charts in November 1991 and #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1991 was produced by Prince and was featured in Prince`s film Graffiti Bridge. Campbell followed the success of his first two singles by releasing his debut album, T.E.V.I.N., in November 1991 which featured the R&B hit singles and Campbell`s only #1 Adult Contemporary hit: "Tell Me What You Want Me To Do" followed by:, "Alone With You", and "Goodbye". His second album, I`m Ready released October 1993, yielded the #1 R&B hit and #9 pop single "Can We Talk" in December 1993, "I`m Ready", "Always in My Heart" which charted at #3 on the R&B chart.[9] He also scored a Top 30 hit with "Don`t Say Goodbye Girl" on the R&B charts.[8] In September 1994, Campbell also scored an R&B hit with the single "U Will Know" as part of the R&B supergroup Black Men United, a group that also included singer Usher.

The year 1996 saw the release of his third album, Back to the World (#11 R&B). The title track was a success (hitting the R&B Top 20), but additional singles failed to make an impact on the chart. His early 1999 self-titled album was found Campbell venturing into the neo-soul venue. The project was rushed, and as a result charted below the R&B Top 30, with only one single charting, a Top 30 song called "Another Way".

In May 2008, Rambo House Media illegally released an internet album, 2008, Never Before Heard on iTunes and Amazon. Tevin Campbell obtained legal representation due to this music being released without his consent[citation needed], and the music can no longer be heard or purchased on these sites.
