Dru Hill is comprised of “NOKIO”, “SISQO”, “SMOKE”, and “BLACK”. In a career that spans over two decades, Dru Hill, under the steadfast leadership of their long-time and trusted manager Kevin Peck, has accomplished literally everything an R&B/Pop group could dream of achieving. From having a string of Top 40 #1 hit singles, multi-platinum selling albums, movie and television appearances, headlining sold out concert tours around the world, to selling an eye-popping 40 million records worldwide, their star power has never been in question. With a music library fit for royalty, boasting some of the biggest selling and most popular R&B songs of all time to include “Tell Me”, “5 Steps”, “In My Bed”, “Never Make a Promise”, and “How Deep Is Your Love”, they are considered by many music experts to be key players that helped to define the 90’s. Since welcoming newest members, Playaʼs Smoke and Black in 2018, the group has only risen to new levels of greatness.

Elgin B. Lumpkin, better known by his stage name Ginuwine, is a Grammy-nominated Icon Award recipient, legendary American singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, and philanthropist. With a multifaceted talent foundation, Ginuwine signed to Epic Records as a solo artist in the mid-1990s. Ginuwine released several multi-platinum and platinum-selling albums and singles, becoming one of R&B’s top artists. His commercial success came from his first four albums: 2X Platinum, Ginuwine…The Bachelor and 100% Ginuwine, Platinum album The Life, and gold album The Senior. The explosive success in the 1990s appeared from collaborations with rapper Melissa “Missy” Elliott, singer-songwriter Stephen “Static Major” Garrett, and producer Timothy “Timbaland” Mosley. Up next was a trio collaboration with R&B artists Tyrese (Tyrese Gibson) and Tank (Durrell Babbs), which took the R&B world by storm with their Grammy-nominated debut album Three Kings released in 2013. As a crooner and legendary artist in the industry for 25 years, Ginuwine continues to sell out shows and carries a spotlight in sold-out tours.
