After only 5 minutes of jamming, the band hit it off, and by days end wrote their first song. After realizing their potential, the four planned to commit to each other, calling themselves Maktub. According to their website, the name Maktub is an Arabic word that Reggie got from Paul Coelho's novel The Alchemist, which translates into "it is written" or "destiny". In August 1999, they released their first album, Subtle Ways. There was an immediate response; "The album hit number one on KCMU and later on the soul and urban charts at MP3.com and earns them Best R&B Album at the Northwest Music Awards". After they released the album, Alex Veley decided to leave the group to pursue other projects. In 2000, the group added a new sound to their music by recruiting Thaddeus Turner on guitar and Daniel Spils as their new keyboard player. With the new members of the band, they begin recording demos with a handheld MiniDisc and small button microphone. In 2001 they recorded Khronos in only two weeks. A year later (2002), after selling more than 20,000 copies, Velour Music in New York took notice of their success and re-released Khronos nationally. With this new national recognition, they embarked on a 6-month tour in 2003, travelling all around the United States. Upon their return to Seattle, they begin to write new songs and record new demos, most of which are done with their minidisc recorder and single button microphone. In 2004, they recorded their third album, Say What You Mean. The album was released in April, 2005 and was followed by a three-month tour around the continental United States. After taking 2006 off the band is back in the studio recording their next album slated for release on KUFALA in early summer.
