The members were Mark Baron, Dane Bowers, Bobak Kianoush and Wayne Williams. Bowers and Williams were both students of the Brit School of Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, Surrey, when they were discovered. Williams enrolled at the school in 1995, while Bowers was in the year below, but started in 1994. Mark used to be a Royal Marine Commando.

Another Level were originally signed to Northwestside Records, a BMG sub-label in the United Kingdom that had also signed Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records unit in the mid 1998. Due to Northwestside's position as an urban marketed record label, a number of R&B and hip-hop stars guested on Another Level's records. These included Ghostface Killah and TQ amongst others.

Another Level had seven Top Ten singles in two years, including 1998's UK Number One "Freak Me" (a cover of the 1993 hit by US group Silk), and a platinum selling, eponymous debut album. 1999's gold selling Nexus followed, along with BRIT Awards nominations, and the opening slot on Janet Jackson's European tour.

The band split up in 2000 after the release of their second album Nexus, with member Dane Bowers going on to have success with Jonny L and Victoria Beckham as part of the Truesteppers' record "Out of Your Mind", as well as two, number nine, solo hit single releases. Wayne Williams went on to start up his own record label with his brother Jason. His debut album Fame And Fortune failed to make an impact on the UK charts.

In 2006, Bowers appeared in the follow up TV show to Totally Scott-Lee, called Totally Boyband, in which five boyband members from past groups were to be modelled into a new singing act. The group featured him alongside Lee Latchford Evans of Steps, Jimmy Constable of 911, New Kids on the Block's Danny Wood and S Club's Bradley McIntosh. The series commenced on MTV in the UK in September 2006 yet their first single was a commercial disaster and charted at No 35 with the group name Upper Street (band). They have since disbanded since the show's end.

Another Level Lyrics

Another level baby, with another one
I just like the way we uh, play that kissing game
Something about the way you uh
I like your tongue
The way you touch me
The way you tease me
The way you freak me
And best of all, the way you kiss me

All summer long, we've been together
And I've never felt so good
'Cause when I'm with you
It's such a good time, yes it is
And when you get next to me
You move my heart beat fast
You threw me back with your smile
'Cause when we're alone, I know we're in love
'Cause I can't get enough

(I like the way)
You kiss me when we're playing that kissing game
(I like the way)
You keep me looking forward to another day

We got it good
We have it all it seems, we are living dreams, yeah
This is our time 'cause we were meant to be
Just you and me
This is still new, we're still young at heart
And break in two
But I know our love will always be there

(I like the way)
You kiss me when we're playing that kissing game
