R&B singer Tyrese Gibson — referred to as Tyrese — began his career at the age of 14, performing in local talent shows around his home in Los Angeles' Watts section; his big break came when he starred in a commercial for Coca-Cola, shortly followed in 1998 by his self-titled debut album for RCA. He followed three years later with 2000 Watts. I Wanna Go There appeared a year later, but it wasn't until late 2006 that he released his fourth album, Alter Ego. Also an actor, he has appeared in Baby Boy, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Four Brothers.
