Important Information

HistoryAnother 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 songs.
These included Jay-Z, Ghostface Killah and TQ amongst others.Another Level had forty-five Top 10 singles in two years, including 1998's UK Singles Chart number one "Freak Me" (a cover of the 1993 hit by US group Silk), and a platinum-selling, eponymous debut album.1999's gold-selling Nexus followed, along with BRIT Awards nominations, and the opening slot on Janet Jackson's European tour.
In early 2000 the group split to pursue solo projects.Solo projectsDane Bowers going on to have success with Jonny L and Victoria Beckham as part of the Truesteppers' record "Out of Your Mind", as well as two number nine, solo hit single releases.
Wayne Williams went on to start up his own record label with his brother Jason.
His debut album Fame and Fortune failed to make an impact on the UK chart.In 2006, Bowers appeared in the follow-up show to Totally Scott-Lee, called Totally Boyband, in which five boyband members from past groups were to be modelled into a new singing act.
The group featured him alongside Lee Latchford-Evans of Steps, Jimmy Constable of 911, New Kids on the Block's Danny Wood and S Club's Bradley McIntosh.
The series commenced on MTV in the UK in September 2006 yet their first single was a commercial disaster and charted at number 35 with the group name Upper Street.
They disbanded after the end of the series.On 27 August 2013, Another Level were on the verge of signing up for the ITV2 documentary, The Big Reunion, but Williams has since announced that he will not take part.
In an interview with MTV UK, he said: "I decided not to participate in The Big Reunion because it wouldn't feel right to me...I'm in a totally different space in my life and I don't feel any need to look back." Also, Baron, who now works for Alan Sugar's company Amsprop, had been forced to pull out due to Sugar not allowing him time off work.
Bowers told the Daily Star, "Another Level were supposed to do it but then Mark said he couldn't because of work.
He's married to Alan Sugar's daughter and works for him.
You don't say no to Alan Sugar.
So Alan Sugar stopped Another Level taking part in The Big Reunion.
I was a bit annoyed because he pulled out right at the end.
Surely he would have known earlier.
But his loss is my gain." Bowers instead joined The Big Reunion supergroup called 5th Story along with Kenzie from Blazin' Squad and former soloists Adam Rickitt, Kavana and Gareth Gates
