Giving some background information about the performer, he was raised in Washington D.C., and was educated at Forestville High School, then graduating with a degree in paralegal studies from Prince George’s Community College. In the middle of the 1990s, Ginuwine signed a contract with Epic Records, and pursued a career as an R&B singer. Up to date, he has released 29 singles, seven studio albums, 27 music videos, a compilation album and video album. All those releases among which are multi-platinum, platinum and gold selling singles and albums, have added sums to Ginuwine’s net worth. Concerning the studio albums, the debut one entitled “Ginuwine…the Bachelor” (1996) peaked at 26th position on Billboard 200 in USA and received two platinum certifications from sales in USA, and gold in Canada.

The second studio album “100% Ginuwine” (1999) featuring the hit singles “Same Ol’ G” (1998), “So Anxious” (1999) and “What’s So Different” (1999), was the best album released by Ginuwine so far, as the album managed to reach fifth position on the Billboard 200 and second position on the Billboard R&B charts.

The third album “The Life” (2001) includes the song “Two Reasons I Cry”, which is dedicated to the performers parents who passed away in 2000. His mother died of cancer and his father killed himself. This album respectively peaked at third and second positions on the aforementioned charts, and was certified platinum.
