Sisqó, longtime frontman of the multi-platinum group Dru Hill and a Grammy Award-nominated solo artist, is a 25-year music veteran whose hits include "Tell Me," "Incomplete," "In My Bed," "5 Steps," "How Deep Is Your Love," "We're Not Making Love No More" and the smash single "The Thong Song." In 2000, he won six Billboard Music Awards, including Male Artist of the Year. He was born Mark Althavan Andrews in Baltimore, a city synonymous with drugs and extreme violence, and it served as the rearing site for an artist who has exceeded expectations throughout his life. At a time when charismatic singers who can really sing and dance is a rarity, Sisqó shines as the consummate showman fearless in his pursuit to push the limits of creativity.
