10 A.M. formed in New York in the early 2000s with Janelle Monae on vocals, Kenny Garrett on guitar, Luke Stewart on bass, and Chris Dave on drums. They released their debut album 'The Arrival' in 2006, which included the single 'Left Boy.'
In 2008, the band faced a copyright infringement lawsuit over a sample in the song 'Hideaway,' which delayed their next album. After a hiatus during which members pursued other projects, they reunited for live shows in 2015.
10 A.M. released their second album 'The Departure' in 2018. Their music draws from soul, jazz, funk, and R&B, with lyrics that often touch on love and loss.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
