SoulDecision was a pop band formed in Vancouver, British Columbia under the original name 'Indecision' by singer and multi-instrumentalist Trevor Guthrie, singer David Bowman, and keyboard player Ken Lewko, who were studying music together at Capilano College. Before signing a record deal, they released a couple of singles that received national top 40 radio airplay. The success of those singles led them to a record deal with Universal Music.[1] However, due to a name conflict with an American band, they reluctantly changed their name from Indecision; they allowed their manager, Garry Francis, to choose the new name soulDecision. Launched at the height of the boy band era, they nonetheless wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. The group's first studio album, No One Does It Better, was recorded in Velvet Sound Studios in Sydney, Australia and released on February 22, 2000 in Canada.The album's lead single "Faded", an up-tempo pop tune mixed with R&B and featuring a rap sequence by Thrust, was a hit in Canada, reaching number one on the country's singles chart. It also reached number 22 in the United States. The follow-up single, "Ooh It's Kinda Crazy", also was a hit in North America, and at one time became the number one request on MTV's Total Request Live. In 2018, Billboard named the video as one of the top ten "Greatest Boy Band Videos of the TRL Era" beside hitmakers including Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. No One Does It Better sold over one million copies worldwide. In July 2000 they toured Canada as part of YTV's PsychoBlast Tour, supporting Christina Aguilera and also headlining the Canadian tour in 2001. In Fall of 2000 they toured along with Destiny's Child, as support act for Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle Tour" throughout North America. They were the support act for NSYNC on the Eastern North America dates of Leg 2 of the "No Strings Attached Tour" in 2000. After promotion and touring for their first album had completed, soulDecision went on a long hiatus which resulted in a big change in line-up. In 2004, Dave Bowman left the band, and three additions took place to the band: James Reid (guitar), Tino Zulfo (bass) and Terepai Richmond (drums). Before the release of their second album, 'Shady Satin Drug', the band claimed that their original line-up was badly influenced by the record company, given a marketing-based image that they didn't agree with. With the album being released on lead singer Trevor Guthrie's record label, Sextant Records, the band was allowed more artistic freedom over their work. The album subsequently was released in Canada only in October 26, 2004 although it was available for purchase online through their official website. With "Shady Satin Drug", the band moved towards a more upbeat and danceable sound that was more similar to their hit single, "Faded". The band became marketed more as credible musicians rather than as a pop band, as seen by their music video "Kiss The Walls". While the band received major airplay with their single, "Kiss The Walls", the album sales were significantly low only selling 10,000 copies. Since then, soulDecision have disbanded with lead singer Trevor Guthrie announcing a solo career.
