In 1989, Kelly formed the group MGM and the next year, released his first single "Why You Wanna Play Me" with the group on Tavdash Records. His manager at the time, David Hyatt, introduced him to Wayne Williams at Jive Records. Sometime around 1991 he met Barry Hankerson who soon became his full time manager. In late 1991 Kelly was introduced to Aaliyah, and his then group Public Announcement recorded much of what would be "Born Into the '90s" at a recording studio Kelly leased. Within a few months, songs like "She's Got that Vibe", "Slow Dance", "Dedicated", and "Honey Love" would be the featured songs in Born Into the '90s, which was released several days after Kelly's 25th birthday in January 1992. A huge R&B success, the album would yield the featured songs as the hits and would eventually go Platinum selling over a million copies. By 1993, Kelly had left the group to forge a solo career released his solo debut, 12 Play. The album yielded the top 40 singles, "Sex Me", the #1 hit, "Bump & Grind", and "Your Body's Callin'". In 1994, he had completed singer Aaliyah’s debut album, Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. Released that summer, the album eventually went platinum on the strength of singles like "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best". Kelly returned to the studio to record his third album (his second solo effort). He released his self-titled album in 1995, which was a big success like its predecessor, selling over 5 million copies and spawning hit singles such as "You Remind Me of Something", "I Can't Sleep (Baby If I)" and his collaboration with legendary R&B singer Ronald Isley of the famed Isley Brothers, "Down Low". The album was hailed by some as the singer's most mature record. In 1996, Kelly would release his most successful single up to that time with the theme song from the Michael Jordan movie, Space Jam - "I Believe I Can Fly". The inspirational song became a #2 single and helped Kelly win three Grammy Awards including Best R&B Song. He was also nominated in the Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories for that particular song. Kelly took two years off from music until coming back with the ambitious double concept album, R. in 1998. That album featured a hit duet with pop superstar Céline Dion titled "I'm Your Angel", which became Kelly's second #1 single on the Billboard pop singles chart. Other hits included "When A Woman's Fed Up" and "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time". R. would become Kelly's biggest-selling album in the US, selling over 8 million copies there.
