Born May 16, 1968, to Patricia Ann Tresvant and Ralph Tresvant Sr., Ralph Tresvant
grew up in the Roxbury section of Boston. He joined Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael
Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe in a group formed by producer/songwriter Maurice Starr.
Starr's concept was to form a group that was basically a "new edition" of the Jackson 5.
Paradoxically, Motown founder Berry Gordy wanted to mold the Jackson 5 into a "New
Edition" of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. Signed to StreetWise Records, the group scored with "Candy Girl." The hits continued with "Is This the End" (number eight
R&B), "Lost in Love" (number six R&B), "Count Me Out" (number two R&B for two
weeks), "Earth Angel" from the movie Karate Kid Part 2 (number three R&B), "Once in
a Lifetime Groove" from the Gregory Hines/Billy Crystal movie Running Scared
(number ten R&B), "Tears on My Pillow" with Little Anthony of Little Anthony and the
Imperials, "If It Isn't Love" (number two R&B, number seven pop), "You're Not My Kind
of Girl" (number three R&B), and "Crucial" (number four R&B).

Signing to MCA Records as a solo artist, Tresvant expressed his apprehension about
becoming a solo artist and trying to match his previous successes in various interviews.
Producers/songwriters Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis felt confident in Tresvant's abilities
having work with him on the group's double-platinum LP Heartbreak. They had him sing
the lead and background vocals on the song they had written for him, "Sensitivity."
"Sensitivity" sold over a million copies, going to number one R&B and number four pop
on Billboard's charts in fall 1990. His solo debut, Ralph Tresvant, was released
November 27, 1990, and went platinum, parking at number one R&B for two weeks. The
LP also yielded the charting hits "Stone Cold Gentleman," "Do What I Gotta Do," and
"Rated R." For Jam & Lewis' Perspective Records, Ralph sang on the 1992 hit "The Best
Things in Life Are Free" issued as "Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson with BBD and
Ralph Tresvant." That was followed by his own hit single, "Money Can't Buy You Love,"
from the Damon and Marlon Wayans movie Mo' Money. Ralph has also appeared in the
movie House Party 2. 1996 the New Edition reunion album, Home Again was released
with much success, and there was a 1998 MCA Special Products CD It's Goin' Down,
and the XMG Record's release in 2006 RizzWaFaire that entered Billboard’s Top 200
Charts at 88 the day of it’s release, and spawned two successful singles My HomeGirl &
Never Noticed where Ralph's production and writing skills shined through.
