Before he was recording in 1997 his debut, It's On Tonight Sam Salter spent several years in the choir of the Faithful Church of God in Christ in his native Los Angeles.

As well as his religious inspirations, Salter was early influenced by the classic soul of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, winning several local talent shows as a teenager.

Producer L.A. Reid, the co-head of LaFace Records, heard a demo tape from Sam Salter, and signed Sam for a contract with one of the most hyped urban R&B labels in the U.S.

Salter worked with the other half of LaFace, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, to record his album debut, It's On Tonight. Little Black Book followed in mid-2000. Add/Complete Bio
