The pair quickly became great friends and teamed up to start to produce club music. In 2000, Scott & Leon brought their first single to the UK Garage community and before long "You Used to Hold Me" was a Top 20 hit, peaking at Number 19 on the UK Single Charts and the single went on to become one of the UK Garage scene’s biggest anthems.
