About D’Angelo
Michael Eugene Archer, better known by his stage name D’Angelo, was born in the United States on February 11, 1974. His net worth is believed to be $2.5 million. D’Angelo, an R&B/Soul musician, was born into a deeply religious family. He would go on to become widely recognized as such. His mother, a legal secretary, and his older brother Luther were parishioners in addition to the fact that his father was a Pentecostal minister.
When D’Angelo, who was 3 years old at the time, started playing the piano in the family’s home, Luther claims he first became aware of his younger brother’s musical skill. Later, he gave a church performance. He continued to develop his musical skills throughout his childhood and adolescence, mastering the organ, guitar, drums, and other instruments in addition to developing his voice abilities.
“Any person who’s dealt with substance abuse, it’s an ongoing thing. That’s the mantra -— one day at a time—right? So you’re going to have good days and bad days, but for the most part, I have a grip on it.” — D’Angelo in the June 2012 issue of GQ magazine regarding his drug problem and stints in rehab.
Michael Eugene Archer was born Feb. 11, 1974 in Richmond, Virginia.
He started sharing his demo tape when he was still in his late teens, and EMI Records signed him in 1991. He started out writing songs for other musicians before starting to record his debut solo album. A reworking of the Smokey Robinson classics “Crusin'” and “Lady.” as well as three more successful Soulful singles came from his debut album, the neo-Soul classic Brown Sugar, which was released in June 2005. The album they were on eventually went on to sell more than a million copies in the U.S. alone and all were top 10 successes on the Billboard R&B singles chart. In 1998, he scored another success with the hip-hop/Soul song “Devil’s Pie,” which was featured on the Belly album.
It would take D’Angelo five years before his sophomore album, Voodoo, would be released in 2000 as opposed to releasing it right away following the success of Brown Sugar.
Only one top 10 single, “Untitled (How Does it Feel).” was produced by Voodoo. D’Angelo was shown only from the waist up while singing directly into the camera in the song’s risqué music video. D’Angelo went on a protracted vacation after a tour and promotional appearances in favor of Voodoo in 2000. His few musical appearances during this time were on tracks on the albums of other musicians, including rappers Snoop Dogg, Q-Tip, and Common. He resumed live performance in 2012 by co-headlining a tour with Mary J. Blige.
D’Angelo told Rolling Stone in June 2015 that he was composing more songs for a follow-up to Black Messiah and called it “a companion piece” In 2018, D’Angelo contributed the song “Unshaken” to the soundtrack for the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. On January 4, 2019, “Unshaken” was subsequently made available as a digital single.
GQ magazine has hailed him as the new Marvin Gaye. D’Angelo’s net worth is projected to be $2.5 million as of 2023.
