SisQo

Mark Althavan Andrews, known professionally as SisQó, was born on November 9, 1978, in Baltimore, Maryland. He established his performing career as a founding member of the R&B quartet Dru Hill. The group gained recognition in the late 1990s with transatlantic hits such as ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ and ‘These Are The Times’. In 1999, the members of Dru Hill pursued solo projects, with SisQó releasing his debut album, “Unleash the Dragon,” in November of the same year. This album featured the successful singles ‘Thong Song’ and ‘Incomplete,’ which reached numbers three and one on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. This commercial success led to the creation of a SisQó doll by Play Along Toys in 2001.

Throughout his career, SisQó has expanded his artistic endeavors beyond music. He hosted the dance competition program “Sisqó’s Shakedown” on MTV and took on supporting roles in films such as “Get Over It” (2001) alongside Kirsten Dunst and “Snow Dogs” (2002) with Cuba Gooding, Jr. He also appeared as a vampire in an episode of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” in 2001. His second solo album, “Return of Dragon” (2001), achieved platinum status, with its singles performing well internationally, particularly ‘Dance for Me’ in the United Kingdom.

SisQó continued to evolve his career by participating in various reality television programs, including “Gone Country” (2008) and “Celebrity Big Brother 7” (2010), where he placed 8th. He reunited with Dru Hill for their third album, “InDRUpendence Day” (2010), and later released his third solo album, “Last Dragon,” in 2015. More recently, SisQó competed on “The Masked Singer” in 2024, finishing in 12th place as ‘Lizard,’ which further inspired him to create new music, including plans for upcoming projects titled “Exodus” and “Revelations.” He has collaborated with artists like Marie Osmond and Mya, indicating a continuous engagement with both music and broader entertainment platforms.
