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.
