 moreIn 1994, as a teenager, the Rahway, New Jersey native debuted on Warner
Bros. with "The Moon." Although the smooth, post-new jack ballad was a minor
hit, reaching number 53 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart that summer, its
parent album was shelved. Roberson returned to Howard University on a musical
theater scholarship and earned his degree. During the latter half of the '90s,
armed with an EMI publishing contract, he wrote and arranged tracks for the
likes of Phajja, 112, and Gina Thompson.

The following decade, Roberson went fully independent with his Blue Erro Soul
label, launched with his full-length debut, Esoteric... (2001). The same year
that album was issued, Roberson, as Erro, also made waves in clubs with "Don't
Change" (aka "Change for Me"), a single originally released on Osunlade's Yoruba
label. As his solo career was moving forward again, he was also working with
Philadelphians Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Vivian Green as
well as with Detroiter Dwele, for whom he co-wrote and co-produced "Hold On,"
another single that happened to peak at number 53 R&B. Roberson released solo
albums every couple years, adding to his catalog with The Appetizer (2005),
...Left (2007), and Music Fan First (2009). The latter included "Borrow You,"
Roberson's first charting R&B/hip-hop single since "The Moon," and "A Tale of
Two" and "Still," songs that were nominated for Grammy Awards in the category of
Best Urban/Alternative R&B Performance.

The Recording Academy's acknowledgments, along with new support from a
partnership with Purpose Music and distributor eOne, helped send Mister Nice Guy
(2011) to number 14 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Roberson
subsequently took part in contemporary gospel leader Fred Hammond's United
Tenors project and fronted Zo!'s "We Are on the Move" (both 2013), then reverted
to Blue Erro releases with B-Sides, Features & Heartaches and The Box (both
2014). He then linked up with occasional collaborator Phonte for Tigallerro
(2016) and put together a trilogy of empowerment-themed EPs, Earth, Wind, and
Fire (all in 2017). Before the end of the decade, Roberson issued the
full-length LNS (2019), short for Late Night Sessions, with songs selected by
his following of online subscribers, and he became a professor at Berklee
College of Music. Very early into the COVID-19 pandemic, Roberson extended Erro
Live: Vol. UK, a recording of a London performance the previous year, as well as
the studio album Hear from Here. Those 2020 sets were followed by Lessons
(2022), the title track of which fast became one of Roberson's most successful
singles. © Andy Kellman
