"Growing up and watching TV in Queens, I had visions of being a big music king. I wasn’t the best singer, so I tried to make it as a dancer. But I got beat out by Jermaine Dupri. With the help of my mother, I found a unique way to break into the industry. Soon, everyone wanted a dash of me in their music videos. Then, an unusual offer came in while I was keeping up with the Kardashians. If it wasn’t for them, I might have missed out. That kid from Queens moved on up. And tonight, I’m singing a TV classic that celebrates just that."
