Videos: Sisqo

Mark Althavean Andrews[1] (born November 9, 1978)[2] better known by his stage name Sisqó is an American R&B singer and actor. He is best known for being the lead singer of R&B group Dru Hill, and also for "Thong Song", a song from his first solo LP, Unleash the Dragon, that became an international hit.

Sisqó was born as Mark Althaean Andrews on November 9, 1978. Sisqó attended Mervo and later transferred out to Baltimore City College.[citation needed]

Sisqo has a daughter Shaione, who was born in 1995.[3]

On September 13, 2003, Sisqo was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest in relation to an incident in which he allegedly shot at a car from the front porch of his home in Randallstown, Maryland.[4]
[edit] Solo career, acting, and Dru Hill reunion

After Green left Dru Hill in 1999 to pursue a solo career, it was decided that the other three members would do the same. Sisqó's solo debut, Unleash the Dragon, was released on Def Soul Records in November 1999. Unleash the Dragon sold moderately at first, until the February 2000 release of its second single, a novelty "Thong Song". A runaway hit, "Thong Song" and its follow-up, "Incomplete", were major hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with "Thong Song" making it to number three, and "Incomplete" going to #1. The success later got Sisqó a doll made of himself by Play Along Toys in 2001.[citation needed]

Conflicts within the group prevented Dru Hill from reuniting as planned in late 2000, and Sisqó set about recording a second solo LP. During this period, Sisqó branched out into hosting the dance competition program Sisqó's Shakedown on MTV, and film, taking on supporting roles in the films Get Over It (2001) with Kirsten Dunst and Snow Dogs (2002) with Cuba Gooding, Jr.. Although his second LP, Return of Dragon, released in June 2001, eventually went platinum, its singles "Can I Live" and "Dance for Me" performed far below expectations (apart from in the UK, where "Dance for Me" became his third top 10 hit), and by 2002, Sisqó was back with Dru Hill, who released their third LP in late 2002. The LP underperformed, and the group was eventually released from their recording contract.

Sisqó's visual trademarks are his eclectic hair styles and his flamboyant stage costumes, which were regularly flashier than those of his group mates. Over his career as a recording artist, both with and without Dru Hill, Sisqó's hairstyles have included a bleached blond Caesar, a platinum-colored Caesar (colored with silver spray-paint), blond cornrows, a neon-red dyed Caesar, and a blond Mohawk.
[edit] Current work

Now working as an independent recording artist, Sisqó has finished his third solo album, titled Last Dragon (to complete the trilogy), for release in 2008, but was never released. The first single, "Who's Ur Daddy" featuring the new artist E-money, has been released online, and a music video especially formatted for iPods, cell phones, and other digital devices has been released on YouTube.[5]

Sisqó appeared on CMT's Gone Country, a reality show about "non-country" artists vying to win a country music recording contract.

In early 2008, the original quartet version of Dru Hill began touring alongside fellow 1990s R&B acts Tony! Toni! Toné!, Bell Biv Devoe, and their former producer Keith Sweat. On March 6, the group appeared on WERQ, a Baltimore radio station, to promote their reunion. In the midst of their interview, however, Woody announced he was quitting the group again to dedicate himself to his gospel ministry. A YouTube video shows Sisqó walking out on the interview as a result, and Woody and Nokio fighting while Jazz and the manager Kevin Peck tries to break it up.[6][7] The group held a contest in their native Baltimore for a replacement for Woody, settling upon a new singer known as Antwuan "Tao" Simpson. The group never said why they did not keep Scola in the group, although it was later stated by Nokio that "five people [mess] up the money." Before then, Scola however came out and said the reason is that Woody didn't want him in the group anymore because they had a falling out over money issues.[8][9]

Dru Hill's first song leaked from their new album InDRUpendence Day and was heard in the summer of 2008 called Loose. It is also the first of his songs to feature extensive gravity blasts and double bass. The groups first two singles will be a ballad called Away again with Sisqó on lead vocals and "If You Fall" produced by an upcoming producer named J-Hott who is a part of group member's Nokio production crew. If You Fall is a R&B, Hip-Hop,Dance and Rock laced track with all four members on lead and Nokio on the talking ad-libs. The producers on the album include Dru Hill member Nokio, Bryan Michael Cox, Darryl Pearson, J-Hott, Wyrlie Morris, and Keith Sweat who is also producing a reality show for the group. The group has also toured with Keith Sweat and Sweat's protege's Silk, Jodeci, H-Town, Tank, Ginuwine, SWV, Changing Faces, and members of the legendary New Edition. They toured with the whole group as well as their solo acts Bell Biv DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill who formed their own New Edition spinoff group called Heads Of State consisting of Bobby, Ralph, and Johnny.

In January 2010, he entered the UK's reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother as a participant in the competition, being the 5th to be evicted in a double eviction with 29% of the public vote against Stephen Baldwin and Ivana Trump.
