Both members, natives of Charlotte, North Carolina, were also members of the chart-topping R&B group Jodeci with the DeGrate brothers: DeVante and Dalvin.

History

When they were children, K-Ci and JoJo grew up singing in a Pentecostal church, touring the south.

As teenagers, they met Donald DeGrate, Jr. (DeVante Swing) and Dalvin DeGrate (Mr. Dalvin). All four members openly talked about forming a group.

When DeVante was 16, he journeyed to Minneapolis to join Prince's organization, but he was turned down.

He then asked K-Ci and JoJo to join him in New York to shop demo tapes around featuring his production skills and their singing. Dalvin decided to tag along at the last minute. Soon thereafter, Heavy D got his hands on a tape and passed it on to Uptown Records CEO Andre Harrell, who made arrangements to sign the group, who called themselves Jodeci.
