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).

Excited
Marques Houston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish that I could explain it, just why my heart won't slow down
Girl your body so amazing, tryna chill but I don't know how
Call me crazy but I know it's love is what I'm feelin'
Just one simple touch is more then enough to get me goin'
(Chorus)
Something about you gets me so excited
Try to hold myself, but I just can't fight it
One look in your eyes and baby I'm excited
(verse 2)
Say it's the way you move, your smile, your hair (everything about you)
To feel your kiss it makes it worse (what I gotta go through)
Said I'm bugging out everytime we hangin'out
Cuz it's in my mind so bad I wanna lay you down
Got me trippin, flippin'plans around (So I can chill with you)
Baby listen here can't hold it back gotta (know what I gotta do)
(Chorus)
Something about you gets me so excited
When I'm around you, I just cannot hide it
Try to hold myself, but I just can't fight it
One look in your eyes and baby I'm excited
(Bridge) x4
Look at me it's clear to see
its you and me
Just wan't to make you scream
Let me make you scream
(Chorus)
Something about you gets me so excited
When I'm around you, I just cannot hide it
Try to hold myself, but I just can't fight it
One look in your eyes and baby I'm excited
(verse 3)
I'm so excited

and I just cannot hide it (no no)
and I just cannot fight it
