Michael Bivins rose to fame as one of the founding members of New Edition, a group comprised of childhood friends including Bobby Brown and Ricky Bell. The five-member group achieved commercial success in the 1980s and is credited as a pioneer of the New Jack Swing genre—a fusion of dance-pop, hip hop, and R&B.
New Edition's debut album, Candy Girl, released in 1983, featured hit singles such as “Love,” “Jealous Girl,” and “Is This the End.” The band continued to gain popularity with follow-up albums and singles like "Cool It Now" and "Can You Stand the Rain."
In 1986, Bobby Brown left the group to pursue a solo career, marking a significant shift in the group’s trajectory.
Following New Edition's initial run, Bivins co-founded the subgroup Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD), along with Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe. Their debut album, Poison (1990), became a major success, blending hip hop beats with R&B vocals and helping to further define the New Jack Swing movement. Their hit song “Poison” remains a staple of the genre.
As a solo artist, Michael released songs like “Fresh,” which showcased his versatility beyond group performances.
In addition to his performance career, Bivins has made significant contributions behind the scenes in the music industry. He founded Biv 10 Records, a label that operated under the distribution of Motown Records. Through Biv 10, he managed and developed several successful acts, including Boyz II Men, Another Bad Creation, and MC Brains.
