Musiq made his debut in 2000 with the critically acclaimed album *Aijuswanaseing* (pronounced "I just want to sing"). This project introduced the world to his smooth vocals, insightful lyrics, and unique fusion of soul, jazz, funk, and hip-hop influences. The album included timeless hits like "Just Friends (Sunny)" and "Love," both of which became staples in the neo-soul movement and earned him widespread recognition.
