   Az Yet formed in 1992 in
                    Philadelphia with Dion Allen, Darryl Anthony,
                    Shawn Rivera, and Kenny Terry . Marc Nelson
                    joined the group later. Rivera and Allen
                    began the dream of forming a group in 1990,
                    and a year later found Terry singing in a
                    lobby at a hotel.  
                 
                   
                
                      A demo the singers made
                    eventually made it to Babyface (via
                    his mother-in-law) and an eventual contract
                    with LaFace Records in 1995. Anthony and
                    Nelson were then added to the group to round
                    out the sound. The group is beginning to get
                    recognition for their smooth R&B vocals
                    and stylized harmonies. 
                      
                       Az Yet first hit it big with a
                    song from The
                    Nutty Professor soundtrack, "Last Night." The single went
                    gold and hit #1 on the R&B charts.

                      Reports surfaced that Marc
                    Nelson had left Az Yet due to personal and
                    creative differences with the group. Nelson
                    was brought into the group in 1996, and had
                    also left Boyz
                    II Men prior to their success.
