Music R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Tank pictures (pic) and photo gallery, albums covers pictures.
Birth name: Durrell Babbs. Born: in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and raised in Clinton, Maryland. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion - his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve". The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls. Tank recently sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has worked with Kelly Rowland's highly anticipated second album including confirmed tracks 'The Show' featuring Kelly and Tank and 'Ghetto' featuring Kelly and Snoop Dogg. |
