Aaliyah signed with her uncle Barry Hankerson's Blackground Records label in 1993 at the age of 14 years old. She released her debut album, titled Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, in 1994 at the age of 15. R. Kelly acted as Aaliyah's mentor and he was a leading songwriter and producer on her debut album. The album displayed her smooth and velvety vocals and the production work was said to be original and innovative the album went platinum within months. The album featured the gold-selling singles "Back and Forth" (#1 U.S. R&B, 3 weeks), "At Your Best" (#2 U.S. R&B), a cover of The Isley Brothers' 1976 song, the album-titled single "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" (#25 Hot 100 and #25 US R&B, 2 weeks), and "Down with the Clique" (#12 R&B Airplay, 3 weeks).
