Mishon

Laying mischievously innocent romantic lyrics over R&B grooves richly reverent of soul's rich history, singer/actor Mishon Ratliff found fame well before he graduated high school. Born in 1993, the singer first appeared on a national stage ten years later as a contestant on the NBC talent contest America's Most Talented Kid. While he did not win his age group, he did parlay the attention into a recording contract. He released Still Mishon on Dynasty Records in 2004, followed the next year by Youngsters. In 2007, Mishon landed a role as the youngest child on the ABC Family series Lincoln Heights. Aided by the exposure, he signed to Interscope Records and in late 2009, still just 16, scored his first hit with the playfully sensual "Just a Kiss."
