Background
Another Level were originally conceived by Nick Raphael and Christian Tattersfield for their new record label project, Northwestside Records, a BMG sub-label in the United Kingdom that had also signed Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records unit in 1998. They felt there was a gap in the market for an interracial boyband. Raphael and Tattersfield asked future Epic A&R Jo Charrington to put the group together and then manage them. Charrington recruited the members by auditioning singers from the BRIT School and modelling agencies, with the band originally consisting of a fifth member, Michael Kempster, who left the band shortly after recruitment to pursue a solo career. Due to Northwestside's position as an urban marketed record label, a number of R&B and hip hop stars guested on Another Level's debut album. These included Jay-Z, who appeared on "Be Alone No More", and Ghostface Killah, who appeared on the single version of "I Want You for Myself". TQ later appeared on the band's second album on the track "Summertime".
