Formed in Newport Beach, California, Sugar Ray evolved from a nu-metal band into a defining Southern Californian pop-rock outfit led by singer Mark McGrath and guitarist Rodney Sheppard. Their 1997 breakthrough album Floored featured the massive reggae-infused hit Fly. The triple-platinum follow-up 14:59 spawned the chart-topping singles Every Morning and Someday, cementing their sunny pop sound.
