Biography

D'Angelo (Michael Eugene Archer) was an American singer and multi-instrumentalist from Richmond, Virginia, and the central architect of neo-soul. His debut 'Brown Sugar' (1995) revived classic soul for the hip-hop era, and 'Voodoo' (2000), made with the *Soulquarians* at #Electric Lady Studios#, is regarded as one of the greatest R&B albums ever recorded. After years out of the spotlight, he returned with the politically charged 'Black Messiah' in 2014. He died in October 2025, leaving three albums that permanently reshaped modern soul.
