Career

1990s—2000s: Production

Born and raised in Florida, Jones began writing music when he was 12 years old.[4] He spent his teen years in the Miami club scene, working at Liquid, a Miami nightclub, which allowed him to make music industry connections.[5] He initially drew attention for his work in music production, working on tracks for Rachid, Mandy Moore, Anastacia, P.M. Dawn, Biohazard, and Innosense.[5][6][7][8] Among the singles he produced were "Candy", a 1999 hit by Moore, and "Cowboys & Kisses", a 2001 hit by Anastacia.[4] In 2004, he considered pursuing legal action against Moore, claiming that he had been denied songwriting royalties for "Candy".[1]

2001: Me, Myself, & I

In the September 9, 2000, issue of Billboard, Jive Records announced that the label would be releasing his debut solo album in the next year.[9] They also indicated plans to release a CD sampler including a bonus track accessible via PlayJ technology.[9] Jones officially signed with Jive in April 2001.[4] His debut album, Me, Myself, & I, was slated for release on September 25, 2001.[10] The release date was then pushed back to October 9, when it was released.[6][4]

The lead single from the album, the title track, was a novelty song that incorporated elements of early 1990s music.[5] It was sent to pop radio stations in August 2001, reaching number 44 on the Radio & Records pop chart the following month.[11] It was featured on the soundtrack to the film Big Fat Liar and received play on MTV, being added to rotation the week ending August 19, 2001.[12][3] The track was also included on Now That's What I Call Music! 8.[13]

Internationally, it entered the UK Singles Chart in 2002, spending two weeks on the chart and peaking at number 77.[2] In the Netherlands, it became a top 20 hit on both the Dutch Top 40 and Dutch Single Top 100.[14][15] Jones's next single, "I Belong", became another top 40 hit in the Netherlands.[16][15] He appeared on the cover of the October 12, 2002, issue of Hitkrant [nl], a Dutch music magazine, which that month also hosted a contest to win a meet-and-greet or DVD single of "I Belong".[17]
