Maxwell (born in Brooklyn, New York on May 23, 1973) is an American R&B artist. He played an important role in the development of the soul sub-genre, neo-soul.. Maxwell's father was Pentecostal and raised in Vieques, Puerto Rico. His mother grew up in a devout Baptist household in Haiti. Maxwell lost his father in a plane crash when he was just three years old. The experience influenced his strong religious background and he started singing in his Baptist church. He became serious about making music at age 17 when he began writing his own songs using a cheap Casio keyboard given to him by a friend. Initially inspired by early-'80s urban R&B, his musical skills progressed rapidly and by 1991 he was performing on the New York club scene. After making a name for himself, he signed a recording contract with Columbia in 1994.
