Biography
Ginuwine (Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, born October 15, 1970) is an American R&B singer who built a two-decade career on smooth, sensual vocals and chart-climbing singles. He began in the early 1990s as a member of Swing Mob, a musical collective, before launching his solo career with Epic Records. His debut single "Pony" (1996) peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and anchored his debut album Ginuwine...the Bachelor, which earned double platinum certification from the RIAA. His second and third albums, 100% Ginuwine (1999) and The Life (2001), both landed in the top five of the Billboard 200. "Differences", from The Life, reached number four on the Hot 100 and remains his highest-charting track. The Senior (2003) produced the top ten single "In Those Jeans" and spawned "Hell Yeah" (featuring Birdman) and "Stingy", both top 40 hits. Back II da Basics (2005) peaked in the Billboard 200 top ten and marked his final Epic release; he then signed to Warner Records for A Man's Thoughts (2009). Later projects Elgin (2011) and A Ginuwine Christmas (2011) followed on independent terms. As a Libra born in 1970, Ginuwine embodies the sign's balance and charm—traits evident in his crossover appeal across R&B, pop, and hip-hop audiences. Singers in his genre typically perform live, record studio albums, collaborate with producers and other artists, and build fanbases through radio, streaming, and touring. By 2013, he had sold an estimated 6.98 million albums in the US. Beyond solo work, he co-founded the R&B trio TGT with Tyrese Gibson and Tank in 2007, releasing one studio album together.
