Career
The group was formed in Vancouver under the original name 'Indecision' by singer and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Guthrie, singer David Bowman, and keyboard player Ken Lewko, who were studying music together at Capilano College. Before signing a record deal, they released a couple of singles that received national top 40 radio airplay. The success of those singles led them to a record deal with Universal Music. However, due to naming conflicts, they had to change their name from Indecision, a requirement they were unhappy with; they in fact, allowed their manager, Garry Francis, to choose the new name soulDecision.[1] Although launched at the height of the boy band era, soulDecision were not a boy band, as they wrote their own music and played their own instruments.
No One Does It Better
The group's first studio album entitled No One Does It Better was recorded in Velvet Sound Studios in Sydney, Australia and released on February 22, 2000 in Canada. The album's single "Faded", an uptempo pop tune mixed with R&B and featuring a rap sequence by Thrust, was a hit in Canada, reaching number one on the country's singles chart.[2] It also reached number 22 in the U.S. The follow-up, "Ooh It's Kinda Crazy" also reached number one in Canada, and at one time became the number one request on MTV's Total Request Live. No One Does It Better sold over one million copies worldwide.
In the wake of this album's success, they toured with Christina Aguilera on the Canadian and American legs of her North American "Genie In A Bottle" tour. Also opened for *N SYNC, Destiny's Child, JAY-Z among others.
