upbringing was rough. He struggled between wanting to be a musician and a member of the Gangster Disciples, a street gang. After a brush with death, Jones left the gang and focused on a music career forming the group Porscha. However, Jones was gaining notice as a writer penning songs for established R&B acts such as Usher, producing the singer`s 1995 hit, "Think of You", 702`s "Get It Together" and also wrote for groups such as Brownstone and Silk.

It wasn`t until 1999 however that Jones began to establish himself as a R&B hit maker with the album, Where I Wanna Be. The album yielded the number-one hits such as "U Know What`s Up", which featured TLC member Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes and the title track. Other hits included "Shorty Got Her Eyes on Me" and "All This Love". This album went on to sell over one million copies.
In 2002, Jones released the gold-selling Life Goes On album, which featured the hits, "You Know That I Love You" and "Put Me Down" featuring Styles P..
