One Chance, an R&B group of Chicago composed of brothers Jon Gordon (co-founder) and Michael “Mic” Gordon (co-founder) p/k/a The Gordon Brothers, Rob Brent (member), and Courtney Vantrease (member), signed to J Records after being discovered by Grammy-Award-Winning artist Usher.

Usher discovered One Chance during a live showcase, and immediately organized a meeting for the boy band to perform for music legend Clive Davis, Founder of J Records, who signed them on the spot. In 2006, the band released their first single, “Look at Her”, which peaked at #53 on the U.S Billboard Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop Songs Chart. In 2008, their second single entitled, “U Can’t” ft. Usher, quickly climbed the U.S Billboard R&B Songs Chart to #73. Originally a quintet, the band’s debut was on the 2005 soundtrack for In the Mix, with the songs “That’s My Word” and “Could This Be Love” featuring former band member, Terrell Jones Jr., who can be seen in its videos.

Originally slated for release in late 2006, their debut album, Private, was repeatedly pushed back and eventually shelved due to the ever-changing executive team at J Records. One Chance later requested to be released from US Records and J Records in 2008.

In June 2009, the band signed to artist T-Pain’s Nappy Boy Entertainment, focusing primarily on writing and vocal producing for T-Pain. On September 23, 2010, One Chance released their single, “Sexin' on You”, from their mixtape, Ain’t No Room For Talkin', and co-wrote T-Pain’s single “Reverse Cowgirl”.

In 2011 band members Rob Brent and Courtney Vantrease amicably parted ways to pursue solo careers. Their last release as a group was the June 2011 single “Super Dewper”, which featured T-Pain and Smoke of Field Mob. In 2012, Co-founders and brothers, Jon and Michael “Mic” Gordon, formed the singer-songwriter duo, The Gordon Brothers.
