Mr. Cheeks became a solo artist in 2001. His debut solo album, John P. Kelly, named for both his cousin and his grandfather, featured the hit single 'Lights, Camera, Action!'. The album also included a collaboration with longtime friend and business partner, Stephen Marley, (son of reggae artist Bob Marley) featuring the ballad 'Till We Meet Again' (recorded in Freaky Tah's memory) and the reggae-flavored 'Mama Say”. In 2003, Mr. Cheeks released the follow-up album, Back Again![1] The single off the album was 'Crush On You' and it featured Mario Winans.
