Background
After living in Brooklyn, New York for most of the 1990s, Maestro moved back to Toronto in 1997.[1][2] Although his attempt at commercial success in the U.S. was a failure, he worked on a comeback album with local hip hop and R&B artists. The first single, "Stick to Your Vision", became Maestro's biggest hit since "Let Your Backbone Slide" was released nine years prior. It reached the top 20 on the Canadian Singles Chart.[3]
