Quote

I'm going to take in the R'n'B game with my next album.

A journalist reviewing Unleash the Dragon said I was a one hit wonder, but how can I be when I have released one solo album and two albums with Dru Hill and have every single reach platinum or gold status.

The name "Sisqo" was Andrews' nickname from his old neighborhood in Baltimore, as his childhood friends thought his light curly hair made him look Latino.

Sisqo's vocal style has a lot in common with that of K-Ci Hailey from the R&B group Jodeci. As such, several people, K-Ci included, have criticized Sisqo as having co-opted K-Ci's singing style wholesale, while Sisqo himself has gone on record many times naming K-Ci as his primary influence.
5
Sisqo's visual trademarks are his eclectic hair styles and his flamboyant stage costumes, which were regularly flashier than those of his group mates. Over his career as a recording artist, both with and without Dru Hill, Sisqo's hairstyles have included a bleached blond Caesar, a platinum-colored Caesar (colored with silver spray-paint), blond cornrows, and a neon-red dyed Caesar. Sisqo's flashy style has led to a widespread and longtime rumor that he might be gay or bisexual, allegations which he has consistently denied.
