Original group members Bryan Abrams and Mark Calderon reunited in 2010 and joined Adam Emil, a young singer from Chicago, to recharge the highly successful R&B group of the early 1990s.

Through singles “I Wanna Sex You Up,” “I Adore Mi Amor” and “All 4 Love,” Color Me Badd has sold over 12 million albums, not only in the United States, but throughout the world. They are particularly popular in Oceania and Asia, where a 1996 studio album “Now & Forever” went No. 1 in Japan. Their debut album, “C.M.B.” sold over 6 million on its own and achieved triple platinum status.

Since forming in Oklahoma in the mid-1980s, Color Me Badd popularized the new “hip-hop doo-wop” genre, along with the groups Boyz II Men, Hi-Five and All-4-One, and the recognition soon followed. In 1992, Color Me Badd was nominated for two Grammys, and “I Wanna Sex You Up” won the American Music Award for favorite soul/R&B single and the Soul Train Music Award for Song of the Year.
