Kameelah Williams, aka Meelah, is a singer and song writer who got her start as the lead singer of the famous Motown 90's trio: "702". 702 consisted of Williams and sisters LeMisha and Irish Grinstead, all of who were students at the Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts.

The restructured group was christened 702, which is Las Vegas' area code, and was now ready to record their first album. The group's first album was entitled: "No Doubt" and soared to #1 on the charts. Missy Elliott co-wrote & produced four songs on the album including the smash hit single "Steelo" and its remix. The album spawned three hit singles: "Steelo", "All I Want" and "Get It Together". In addition, "Steelo" with altered lyrics was used as the theme song for the Nickelodeon television show Cousin Skeeter & "All I Want" was featured in the Nickelodeon movie Good Burger. The sensual and very emotional single "Get It Together" gave the album its third hit and reached 10 on the Billboard charts.

Additionally, the album earned them a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award in 1997. It sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. 702 served as the opening act for New Edition, Keith Sweat, and Blackstreet during the 1996-97 New Edition reunion tour. They also appeared on Elliott's debut album Supa Dupa Fly on her 1998 song "Beep Me 911" which reached #14 on the UK Singles Chart. The girls also sang with Busta Rhymes new artist Rampage and made cameos in the sitcoms Sister, Sister and Moesha. After going gold with their debut album, the self-titled album "702" was released in 1999. The first single "Where My Girls At" peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained in the top 20 for more than 30 weeks, which earned 702 an American Music Award nomination. The album went on to sell over 1,000,000 copies worldwide certifying its platinum status.
