Houston sang with his childhood friends, Jerome "Romeo" Jones and Kelton "LDB" Kessee in the group Immature. Chris Stokes became the manager of the group. They first started with the band called Immature. Houston's Immature nickname "Batman" was given to him for wearing Batman underwear on his head. The group later changed their name to IMx, because they felt they had matured personally and musically. In 2002, IMx mutually disbanded because the members wanted to move on and do different things creatively. Houston inked a record deal with TUG/Universal records and embarked upon his journey of becoming a relevant R&B soloist.
In 2003, Houston recorded and released his first solo album entitled MH. The singles were "That Girl" and "Clubbin (Ft. Joe Budden)". Houston also appeared on Scream Tour with Nick Cannon, B2k, and Bow Wow.
In 2004, he released two more singles from that album; "Pop That Booty (Ft. Jermaine Dupri) and "Because Of You".
In 2005, Houston released his sophomore album entitled Naked. The singles from that album were "All Because Of You (Ft. Young Rome)", "Naked", and "Sex Wit You".
In 2006 he released the first single from his third solo album, "Favorite Girl" and the Accompanying video, featuring Stacey Dash. He was also featured in his fellow T.U.G. artist, Mila J's video/song "Good Lookin' Out" and on Yung Joc's video/song "1st Time" and with Trey Songz.
On March 26, 2007, Houston released his third studio album entitled Veteran.
Acting career
Houston made his debut acting appearance in the comedy film House Party 3, where he played himself along with fellow Immature/IMx bandmates Jerome "Romeo" Jones and then member Don "Half Pint" Santos (who was later replaced in the group by Kelton "LDB" Kessee).
Houston's breakthrough role came when he won the part of Roger Evans in the television comedy show Sister, Sister, playing the next door neighbor of Tia and Tamera (played by Tia and Tamera Mowry). He played the role from 1994 to 1997, making a final cameo appearance in the final episode of the show in 1999.
Houston starred in a couple of movies and played small roles here and there throughout his career. He even held his own television show for a short while (the short-lived UPN's Cuts, a spinoff of another UPN show, One on One).

Leave the club about six in the mornin
Fill of hypnotic at six in the mornin
Still got the top down at six in the mornin
On my way to the IHOP with these three red bones
Head out to the suburbs

Holla back
If you got what I need holla back

Shaking up bottles of Cris
Spread 'em on chicks
Contest for the nicest shh
Said this party will be the talk for years to come
So lets blow them up you know how we do
[Chorus:]
This is how we do, when we are off up in the club
This is what we drink, when we are off up in the club
This is how we party up in the club, when we are off up in the club

The song "Clubbin'" by Marques Houston is a lively and upbeat party anthem that features Joe Budden on the remix version. The song is about a group of people leaving the club in the early hours of the morning and heading to a party in the hills. The lyrics describe a wild and fun-filled night of drinking, dancing, and socializing with friends. The song emphasizes the party culture and the party lifestyle of young adults, promising endless fun and excitement. The song's catchy chorus and high-energy beats make it a favorite among club-goers and party enthusiasts. However, underlying the song's upbeat tempo and party theme, there are some explicit sexual references, and the lyrics might not be appropriate for all audiences.
The song's lyrics talk about leaving the club early in the morning, with the singer being "fill of hypnotic" and heading to the "IHOP with these three red bones." The "red bones" is a slang term for light-skinned women, and the lyrics might suggest that the singer is looking for some female company after leaving the club. They then head to a pool party in the hills, where the guys try to impress girls by shaking champagne bottles and spreading it on the girls, and there is a contest for the nicest body part. The song's chorus emphasizes the excitement of clubbing and partying, with a catchy beat that can get anyone dancing.
