London, England – Former Dru Hill member Sisqo surprised fans by hiding his identity under the Lizard costume on “The Masked Singer.” Usually accustomed to having underwear thrown at him during performances, the “Thong Song” singer embraced the thrill of anonymity on the popular Fox singing competition.
Reflecting on his time on the show, Sisqo shared that he initially focused too much on the singing aspect, underestimating the challenges that came with wearing the mask. Despite being eliminated before the quarterfinals, he viewed the experience as a win because it allowed him to showcase a different side of himself as an artist.
Throughout the competition, judges Rita Ora and Robin Thicke recognized Sisqo’s voice, even before he revealed his identity. The singer’s children also easily identified him based on his performance, showcasing their unwavering support for their father’s artistic endeavors.
Sisqo, who is working on a new album titled “Exodus,” hopes that his appearance on “The Masked Singer” will introduce viewers to his evolving music style. By exploring different genres and showcasing his vocal range, he aims to capture a wider audience beyond his classic hits.
Despite facing challenges performing in the elaborate Lizard costume, Sisqo drew on his experience and adaptability to deliver memorable performances on the show. His decision to perform unexpected songs like Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” allowed him to showcase his versatility and challenge common perceptions about his music.
When asked about his artistic talents beyond music, Sisqo revealed a passion for drawing and a missed opportunity to work as an animator for Disney. Despite not pursuing a career in animation, he found ways to incorporate his artistic skills into his projects, emphasizing the importance of exploring various creative outlets.
Looking ahead, Sisqo remains open to his children pursuing careers in the entertainment industry, relying on their honest feedback to guide his creative endeavors. As he continues to navigate his musical journey post-“The Masked Singer,” Sisqo remains committed to pushing boundaries, embracing new opportunities, and sharing his passion for music with his audience.
