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).

How I Do
Marques Houston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, yes. Fly, yes.
Drinker, yes, yes
Fitness Beckham Jeans, hips nice, eyes tight,
Ooo yeh girl you?re fly, seems like I could eat you alive,
Legs, skirt, coat, fur, purse, Gucci baby I love her,
But even tonight (How I Ju...How Ju...) How I do, how I do.
Sexy girl, making me swirl,
Skin tight, teeth white,
Hair brushed down, Ooo let me buy you a crown,
Princess yes, VPS,
It?s a privilege just to see you undress,
Stomach tight, fitness right,
Think I just found me a girl for the night,
Nah, even tonight (How I Ju...How Ju...) How I do, how I do.
Im?a show ya, baby im?a on ya tonight, yeh,
Oh, we lightin candles, baby we foggin windows tonight...night.
Yeh, gotta feelin, yeh you gotta feelin,
Scratchin on ma back and Im all down with it,
Cos I, the sun is risin, yeh you got it risin
And you can say you got it by the end of the, end of the,
Nah, Even tonight (How I Ju...How Ju...) How I do, how I do.
The lyrics of Marques Houston's song "How I Do" express the singer's admiration for a woman's physical appearance and his desire to be with her. He describes in detail various aspects of her style, such as her tight jeans, hips, eyes, legs, skirt, coat, fur, and purse, all of which contribute to her overall attractiveness. The singer's desire intensifies as he marvels at her smile, tight skin, white teeth, and brushed-down hair. He considers himself lucky to be in the presence of a woman whom he considers to be a princess.
The singer then suggests that he would like to take the woman home with him for the night. He implies that they will be engaging in sexual activity, saying that he will show her what he can do and that they will be lighting candles and fogging up windows. He implies that their sexual encounter will be intense and pleasurable, as he scratches her back and they both reach a climax.
