"It wasn't easy and I had to watch my back all of the time, but I always believed in myself, and that I could make it out of there," he said in his RCA biography. Instead of succumbing to the ills of crime-infested streets, Tyrese decided to battle his way out of his neighborhood to improve the standard of living for himself and his family. His father, Tyrone Gibson, left the family when Tyrese was six years old. Tyrese Gibson grew up with his mother, Priscilla Murray, and three siblings in the impoverished Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. He released his sophomore effort, 2000 Watts, to favorable reviews in 2001. Following the release of his self-titled debut album in 1998, Tyrese won an American Music Award for Favorite New Artist-Soul/R&B in 2000. Tyrese's musical endeavors have led to popular success and recognition.
"Singing was and still is my first love, and it opened the doors for me in all of the other show business-related things that I do," he said in an RCA Records biography.
Despite his multiple interests and talents, singing is most important to the Los Angeles, California, native. Tyrese has touched the full entertainment spectrum, having modeled, released albums, acted in films and commercials, and hosted a television show, all before the age of 22.
