Absolute were formed in 1988 by Paul Wilson and Andy Watkins after they met at university and decided to pursue a career in music. Initially, Absolute was a band project with the release of two singles: "Don't You Wanna be Mine" (1991) and "Introduce Me to Love" (1992). The latter featured the vocals of John Paul Barrett. Watkins and Wilson, without Barrett, then ventured into the world of dance remixing. After achieving critical acclaim for their work on artists such as Lisa Stansfield, The Nightcrawlers, Mica Paris, JTQ and Al Green, the pair were approached by Pete Evans of Big Life Management for management. Evans himself was considering branching out on his own and, with the help of Simon Fuller, formed Native Management with Absolute as his initial signing. Tracy Ackerman joined the songwriting duo in the late 90's. 1988 (MCMLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Simon Fuller offered the pair a publishing deal to concentrate on song writing. Through BMG Music, Absolute were introduced to a new girlband called, at that time, Spice by BMG Publishings' Mark Fox. Absolute told Fuller of the girls they had discovered and asked whether he would consider managing them. This he did, and after much songwriting, the now Spice Girls were signed to Virgin Records and the first album Spice was released in November 1996 leading to a Brit nomination in that year for Best Producers.

Absolute continued to work on the subsequent Spice Girls album, Spice World, and then continued their development of singer/songwriter Shernette May. After this, they undertook the writing and production and the second album for Virgin Records artist Kavana while relocating to Italy. During this time they were contacted by Geri Halliwell who informed them of her decision to leave the Spice Girls and asked them whether they would consider writing and producing her solo project. On returning to the UK, Watkins and Wilson embarked on the project, leading to the release of Schizophonic in May 1999. They continued to contribute to Halliwell's subsequent albums but to a lesser extent. Also in 1999 they were asked to contribute songs for Tina Turner's 24-7 album working with artists such as Bryan Adams. They went on to write and produce three songs for that album. Watkins and Wilson also produced and wrote the second international album of the Polish artist Edyta Gorniak, which was released in 2002 in Poland as "Perla" and in 2003 as "Invisible" in other European countries. The first single release from this album was "Impossible" - written and produced by Absolute. Some critics claimed it was a copy of the song "Love is like Oxygen" by the British rock group Sweet. Absolute have produced and written, in total to date, 7 Uk No1 singles, 20 Uk Top 10 singles and sold in excess of 50 million records worldwide.
