After about 16 years in the party, Marques Houston is considered a veteran at 25 years. Born to Michael and Carolyn Houston, Marques Barrett Houston on August 4, 1981, under the sign of Leo, it was only natural to become a host. Marques Houston is a man of many arts and is known as a singer, actor and dancer. It is also approved in writing, and should be practiced, therefore, in every guest.
A talent show in his hometown of Los Angles was scouted by Chris Stokes who created Marques Houston for a singing group, including Hieronymus Jones and at the time Don Fernando Santos, who was known to be immature. Stokes became the group’s manager, mentor and producer, and the album was titled “The Bad Move.” The group had a song in the soundtrack for anime movie “Kids Bebe” where Marques Houston, who was given. Nicknamed “Batman” for wearing underwear on Batman’s head, Kahlil was the voice for the character. The early debut was far from outstanding but with the withdrawal of Don Santos and the addition of Kelton Kessee, the release of the sophomore album, whose name is “Playtime Over”, brought success and gained a group of young women. Even though the name of the group was mature, they changed their image to a more mature look and changed it to their own colors. and longer days. The group also sang several songs that won over all the women. That’s where “Batman” first showed his vocal powers.
At the same time, he also had a spectacular role in the popular series “Sister, Sister” with twins Tia and Tamara Mowery, where he played the part of Roger Evans, the precocious teenage love interest of the twins. Although this was a successful career as an actor, he always felt that his role kept the group from being even more successful, because he could not do a major tour because he had to work on set.
The group’s record four more albums was growing earlier with each release also changing the name of the group to IMX pushing everything that was premature. After years with the group, each member ventures into solo work. Of course, with the friendship that had grown between each of them, everyone would write and produce among themselves. Marques Houston released his first album “MH”, dropping the nickname Batman. Michael Jackson is clearly one of his major musical influences, although on his first album and stage career his vocal performance slips in a very Michael Jackson-esque way. Well-known producers R. Kelly and Jermaine Dupri worked on the album MH and Marques Houston himself.
Throughout his career, Marques has been heavily involved in the music business and producing training from his manager and teacher Chris Stokes. He helped create and produce the group B2K before they unfortunately broke up. With the success of B2K, Marques, along with longtime friends Jerome Jones, Kessee and B2K, in the movie “You Got Served” in 2004 directed by Chris Stokes. The movie was similar to the 1980 movie “Breakin'”. According to www.imdb.com “many theaters considered the movie to be a huge failure and therefore stopped showing it just two weeks later his release” but the film was a major success for Marques, Chris Stokes and his showcase of Stokes stars was called “The Ultimate Group”. In fact, www.wikipedia.com reports that the movie “was the biggest movie seen on Super Bowl weekend with $16 million USD grossed in its first week, a record until late 2005, when the movie grossed over 40 million USD.” Marques released another solo album in 2005, entitled Naked, where Marques began to shed himself (figuratively and literally) to show how much he had grown from childhood to immature lead singer.
During 2005 and 2006, Marques also appeared on the UPN (now the CW network) network “Cut” where he played the character of Kevin Barnes, a barber and barber shop owner. Unfortunately the show was canceled after two seasons. Marques together with “The Last Company” have several films in production, with a horror films called: “Somebody Help I.” He recently released his third solo album “Veterans”, which features artists Mya, Shawnna and Yung Joc. This list is to consider the real Marques Houston as a veteran himself in the sports business and his experiences in his relationships. The album’s first single was “Covenant Girl” and actress Stacy Dash’s music video. Marques Houston has definatly come a long way from Batman underwear. He left his mark in music, television and the big screen.
