'''Mark Althavan Andrews''' (born November 9, 1978),<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-2001-02-21-0102210061-story.html|title=Some hot pursuits keep Sisqo busy|work=Baltimore Sun|author=Tricia Bishop|date=February 21, 2001|access-date=April 25, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://blackhistorydaily.com/black_history/sisqo.html|title=Sisqo – Sisqo's birthday|website=Black History Daily|access-date=2017-07-18}}</ref> known professionally as '''Sisqó''' (stylized as '''SisQó'''), is an American [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] singer. Following his tenure as lead performer of the R&B group [[Dru Hill]], he quickly reached success as a solo act with the release of his debut studio album ''[[Unleash the Dragon]]'' (1999), which peaked at number two on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]]. It spawned the singles "[[Incomplete (Sisqó song)|Incomplete]]" and "[[Thong Song]]", which peaked at numbers one and three on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], respectively.<ref name="telegraph.co.uk">{{cite web |title=Celebrity Big Brother: profile of all 2010 contestants |website=Telegraph.co.uk |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/big-brother/6928232/Celebrity-Big-Brother-profile-of-all-2010-contestants.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/big-brother/6928232/Celebrity-Big-Brother-profile-of-all-2010-contestants.html |archive-date=2022-01-12 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=2009-01-05}}{{cbignore}}</ref> His second album, ''[[Return of Dragon]]'' (2001) failed commercially, as did his subsequent releases. He received 12th place on the [[The Masked Singer (American TV series) season 11|eleventh season]] of ''[[The Masked Singer (American TV series)|The Masked Singer]]'' as Lizard.

==Early life==
As a teen, Andrews worked at The Fudgery<ref>{{cite web|publisher=The Fudgery|title=About the Fudgery|url=http://fudgeryfudge.com/about.html|access-date=2015-11-25|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106085111/http://www.fudgeryfudge.com/about.html|archive-date=2015-01-06}}</ref> in [[Harborplace]] at [[Inner Harbor|Baltimore's Inner Harbor]] with Larry "Jazz" Anthony, James "Woody" Green, and Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin. The quartet would be signed as the group [[Dru Hill]] to [[Island Records]] in 1996. He lived in the [[Reservoir Hill]] neighborhood at 908 Newington Avenue near [[Druid Hill Park]], which is where the group got their name.

==Career==
After Woody departed Dru Hill in 1999 to pursue a solo career, it was decided that the other members would follow suit and issue their own solo albums. Sisqó's solo debut, ''[[Unleash the Dragon]]'', was released on [[Def Jam|Def Soul Records]] in November 1999. ''Unleash the Dragon'' sold moderately at first, until the February 2000 release of its second single, the novelty "[[Thong Song]]". A runaway hit, "Thong Song" and its follow-up, "[[Incomplete (Sisqó song)|Incomplete]]", were major hits on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Billboard Hot 100|Hot 100]] [[record chart|chart]], with "Thong Song" making it to number three, and "[[Incomplete (Sisqó song)|Incomplete]]" going to [[chart-topper|#1]]. This success resulted in [[Play Along Toys]] manufacturing a Sisqó [[Celebrity doll|doll]] in 2001.

Formed by Sisqó in 1999, [[LovHer]] was the first female [[quartet]] on the [[Def Jam Recordings|Def Soul]] label.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=MTV |title=About LovHer |url=http://www.mtv.com/artists/lovher/biography/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150801131845/http://www.mtv.com/artists/lovher/biography/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 1, 2015 |access-date=2015-07-07}}</ref> Their single "How It's Gonna Be" was featured on the [[Rush Hour 2 (soundtrack)|Rush Hour 2 soundtrack]] in 2001.<ref>{{cite magazine |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |title=Ludacris, Gray, Musiq Bolster 'Rush Hour 2' |date=29 June 2001 |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/ludacris-gray-musiq-bolster-rush-hour-2-79248/ |access-date=April 25, 2022}}</ref>

Conflicts within Dru Hill prevented the group from reuniting as planned in 2000. This is usually attributed to time conflicts during the recording of Sisqó's second solo LP. During this period, Sisqó branched out into hosting the dance competition program ''Sisqós Shakedown'' on [[MTV]], and into [[film]], taking on supporting roles in the films ''[[Get Over It (film)|Get Over It]]'' (2001) with [[Kirsten Dunst]] and ''[[Snow Dogs]]'' (2002) with [[Cuba Gooding, Jr.]] He also starred as a vampire in ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996 TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' (Season 6 Episode 1). 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 [[United Kingdom]], where "Dance for Me" became his third top ten hit). By 2002, Sisqó reunited with Dru Hill, which released its third LP in late 2002. The LP underperformed, and the group was subsequently released from their [[recording contract]].

In January 2008, Sisqó was a contestant on a reality show called "Gone Country."<ref name="cmt">{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/videos/misc/214854/gone-country-final-performance-sisqo.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924123823/http://www.cmt.com/videos/misc/214854/gone-country-final-performance-sisqo.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 24, 2015|title=Gone Country Final Performance: Sisqo|website=CMT}}</ref><ref name="mtv">{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1580448/bobby-brown-goes-country-i-felt-it-was-something-i-could-conquer/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160617093258/http://www.mtv.com/news/1580448/bobby-brown-goes-country-i-felt-it-was-something-i-could-conquer/|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 17, 2016|title=Bobby Brown Goes Country: 'I Felt It Was Something I Could Conquer'|website=MTV|author=Shaheem Reid|date=January 28, 2008|access-date=April 25, 2022}}</ref><ref name="FranklinGuide">{{cite web|url=http://franklin.thefuntimesguide.com/2007/11/has_sisqo_gone_country_1.php|title=Has Sisqo Gone Country?

In 2010, Sisqó was a contestant on the British reality television show ''[[Celebrity Big Brother (British series 7)|Celebrity Big Brother 7]]'', which he placed 8th. He was the fifth contestant to be evicted, lasting 20 days.

Dru Hill released its third album, ''[[InDRUpendence Day]]'', in 2010 as an independent release through [[Kedar Entertainment]]. The group also appeared at this time in the [[reality show]] ''Keith Sweat's Platinum House'' on [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]]'s sister station [[BET Her|Centric]].

Sisqó continued to tour through the 2010s, both as a member of Dru Hill, and as a solo act. His third solo album, ''Last Dragon'', was released on February 10, 2015. The singles, "A-List" and "L.I.P.s" were released ahead of the album, with the latter reaching number 23 on the US Adult R&B charts, becoming Sisqó's first charting US single since 2001's "Can I Live".

{{as of|2015}}, Sisqó, along with the other members of Dru Hill, claimed that their record label botched a record deal, costing them millions in the process.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tmz.com/2015/06/23/dru-hill-sisqo-sue-record-label-lawsuit/|title=Sisqo – Cheap Ass Execs Slayed My 'Dragon'|website=TMZ|date=23 June 2015 }}</ref>

In 2016, Sisqó provided a rap counterpoint in a duet with [[country music]] singer [[Marie Osmond]], in her song "Give me a Good Song", which was featured on ''[[Music Is Medicine]]'', released on April 15, 2016.

In 2017, Sisqó, sang on a remake of his "Thong Song" produced by [[JCY (Producers)|JCY]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/07/18/jcy-sisqo-thong-song-remake-video/|title=Sisqo's "Thong Song" Remix Gets a Fresh New Video & Surprise: It's Full of Thongs|date=2017-07-29|website=Highsnobiety|access-date=2017-07-29}}</ref>
