Born May 16, 1968, to Patricia Ann Tresvant and Ralph Tresvant Sr., Ralph Tresvant grew up in the Roxbury section of Boston. He joined Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe in a group formed by producer/songwriter Maurice Starr. Starr's concept was to form a group that was basically a "new edition" of the Jackson 5. Paradoxically, Motown founder Berry Gordy wanted to mold the Jackson 5 into a "new edition" of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. Signed to StreetWise Records, the group scored with "Candy Girl." The hits continued with "Is This the End" (number eight R&B), "Lost in Love" (number six R&B), "Count Me Out" (number two R&B for two weeks), "Earth Angel" from the movie Karate Kid Part 2 (number three R&B), "Once in a Lifetime Groove" from the Gregory Hines/Billy Crystal movie Running Scared (number ten R&B), "Tears on My Pillow" with Little Anthony of Little Anthony and the Imperials, "If It Isn't Love" (number two R&B, number seven pop), "You're Not My Kind of Girl" (number three R&B), and "Crucial" (number four R&B).

Signed to MCA Records as a solo artist, Ralph expressed his apprehension about becoming a solo artist and trying to match his previous successes. Producers/songwriters Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis felt confident in Ralph's abilities having worked with him on the New Edition's double--platinum LP Heartbreak. They had him sing both the lead and background vocals on the song they had written for him, "Sensitivity." "Sensitivity" sold over a million copies, going to number one R&B and number four pop on Billboard's charts in fall 1990. His solo debut, Ralph Tresvant, was released November 27, 1990, and went platinum, parking at number one R&B for two weeks. The LP also yielded the charting hits "Stone Cold Gentleman," "Do What I Gotta Do," and "Rated R." For Jam & Lewis' Perspective Records, Ralph sang on the 1992 hit "The Best Things in Life Are Free" issued as "Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson with BBD and Ralph Tresvant." Next followed by his own hit single, "Money Can't Buy You Love," from the Damon and Marlon Wayans movie Mo' Money. Ralph has also appeared in the movie House Party 2. The New Edition reunion album, Home Again was released with much success, and there was a 1998 MCA Special Products CD It's Goin' Down where Ralph's production and writing skills were showcased.

Ralph has also entered into a new business venture with Xzault Media Group, Inc. with Dan Dillman (Founder and CEO), Charles Richardson (Executive Vice President, Business Affairs), Dan Bell (Executive Vice President, Audio Development) and Mike Burton (Executive Vice President, Visual Development).
