Andwele Gardner (born February 14, 1978), better known by his stage name Dwele is an American soul singer, songwriter and record producer from Detroit, Michigan.
Biography
Gardner was raised on the west side of Detroit in a musical family. He played piano from the age of six, later taking up trumpet, bass and guitar. He was deeply affected by the fatal shooting of his father outside his home when he was age ten, later stating "I learned to put my emotions into music; it was my therapy." He cites Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Freddie Hubbard as favorite artists, and took inspiration from hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, becoming an MC, and working with Slum Village.
Gardner recorded a demo in his bedroom, called, The Rize, and sold it out of the trunk of his car. He had about 100 copies, which sold out within a week. He caught the ears of local heroes Slum Village and more specifically their world-renowned producer J Dilla.Slum Village invited Dwele to sing the hook of the song "Tainted" for their album Trinity (Past, Present and Future). It became an instant classic and led to more high profile work with female rapper Bahamadia, the all-star group Lucy Pearl and London's New Sector Movement. Dwele signed to Virgin Records in 2003, and the label released his debut album, Subject, which mixed neo soul and hip hop.

A Few Reasons
by: Dweleaahhh oohh
I'm better as a man and it's all because of you baby.
And now I understand when they say 'Behind a strong man there's you'
Some can't comprehend the words i speak on track 10 baby
But there's a new meaning for the truth
If the truth is in a pudding, you're jello pops are Cosby
If the truth is bare naked, then the truth, it look good on you
Simplified baby, we make it do what it do
And that's a few reasons why I'm with you.
I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so defined.
A few reasons why you're mine.
I'm so glad you're mine, so defined
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, you're mine.
A few reasons why you're mine.
This song is my ode to you, for the twice time baby.
I learned a few things since the last time I told you the truth,
Got me outside with no umbrella and it's rainin.
But I don't mind your wetness, it's cool.
If we had computer love, I would let you hack my myspace.
If your love was a dance, you could youtube me and watch me.
You, you, you, you bring out the youth in an old soul baby.
And that's a few reasons why I'm with you
I'm so glad you're mine, so defined
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine.
I'm so glad you're mine, my define
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so defined.
A few reasons why you're mine
It's true you got me trying to find things about you to not be so wrapped up in you,
But obvi-ously it's hopeless, that's why I wrote this.
I can't help but to focus on your ass, your smile, your eyes
Just gotta keep it truthful with myself cause in the end
I'ma want you for more than a friend.
If you ain't heard me, I'ma say it again.
I'm so, I'm so glad you're mine, you're mine
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine, you're mine.
I'm so glad you're mine, so glad
On a scale 1 to 10, you're about a couple of dimes.
Head toe, you're so fine, so fine.
A few reasons why you're mine.
Oh, ah, ah, ah, so glad
Oh, ah, ah, ah, you're mine
Oh, ah, ah, ah, oooh
Oh, ah, ah, ah, oooh
