Jazz/R&B guitarist
Dwight Sills got his start in Houston in the 1980s, playing with a jazz group called Axis.
Kirk Whalum helped him get a contract with Columbia Records, which released his debut album, Dwight Sills, in 1990; it made the R&B charts. A follow-up, 1992's
Second Wind, was less successful, and
Sills embarked on a career as a sideman, recording or touring with
Whalum,
Anita Baker,
Boney James,
Rick Braun,
Richard Elliot,
Wayne Henderson & the Next Crusade, and
Brenda Russell. He was also featured on many sessions produced by
Babyface. In 1997, he signed a new publishing deal, and in 1999 Citylights Music released his third solo album,
Easy. ~ William Ruhlmann
