Jodeci Net Worth $10 Million
Cedric and Joel Hailey were a part of the gospel group Little Cedric & the Hailey Singers, while Donald and Dalvin DeGrate, were members of their own family gospel group. While touring, the brothers often met and performed together, which only led to the formation of what is now known as Jodeci.
Donald was the one who took matter into his hands, and began to work on forming the group, later serving as its frontman. He was responsible for their signing with Uptown records, as he sent their demo tape to Andre Harrell. Soon the group was signed to the record label, and their career was ready to start.
Jodeci`s debut album came out in 1991, entitled “Forever My Lady”, reaching 18 on the US R&B charts, and soon achieving triple platinum certification, increasing the net worth of the members by a large margin. Their second album came out two years later, entitled “Diary of a Mad Band”, which also topped the US R&B charts, and it also improved their previous spot on the US Billboard chart, as it reached No. 3. The album was also quite successful when it comes to sales, as it achieved double platinum status, which only added funds to members` accounts.
Before they separated, Jodeci released their third album, entitled “The Show, the After Party, the Hotel” (1995), which repeated the success of its predecessors, topping the US R&B chart, and it reached No. 2 on the US Billboard chart. The album achieved platinum status, adding a substantial amount to their net worth.
After the release of the album, group members started separate careers, as producers and as well as singers, as Joel and Cedric Hailey started the duo K-Ci & JoJo, releasing five albums, before reuniting with the DeGrate brothers again in 2014. Since then, they have released one more album, entitled “The Past, The Present, The Future”, which reached No. 2 on the US R&B chart, and was their worst charting album, as it reached only No. 23 on the US Billboard chart.
Thanks to their popularity and success, the group has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Billboard Music Award for Top R&B Album for their “Forever My Lady”, Billboard Music Award for Top R&B Artist in 1992, and Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single for their song “Lately” in 1994. Furthermore, the group was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2012.
When it comes to the personal lives of the group members, there is no information about them online; however, the group is quite active across social networks, including Facebook, and Twitter, where it informs its fans of their newest ventures, including recording of new albums, and tours.
