Music Career
Mark McGrath's music career began in 1992 when he joined the band Sugar Ray, which was originally formed in 1986. In the early years, Sugar Ray was known for playing Nu-Metal and was known as the Shrinky Dinx at one point. After the group signed a record deal with Atlantic, they were forced to change their name to Sugar Ray whenMilton Bradleythreatened them with a lawsuit (they sold a toy called Shrinky Dinks).
Eventually, Sugar Ray began to adopt a more mainstream sound, somewhat abandoning its Nu-Metal roots. Their debut album "Lemonade and Brownies" failed to make much of an impact in the mainstream community, however – although it did get people talking in alternative and underground circles. Sugar Ray experienced much greater success with their 1997 album, "Floored." This album contained the mainstream hit "Fly," which featured the reggae artist Super Cat. This one song essentially guaranteed the success of "Floored," and the album achieved platinum status.
Not only that, but it also created a surge in popularity for "Lemonade and Brownies." Two singles from Sugar Ray's debut album were featured in the video game "Road Rash 3D" for the Playstation and Nintendo 64. In addition, Mark McGrath suddenly achieved widespread celebrity status, and he found himself on the cover of "Rolling Stone" and "Spin." "People" magazine also named him the "Sexiest Rocker" of 1998. Despite the fact that many critics assumed Sugar Ray was a one-hit wonder, the group released "14:59" in 1999 – another successful effort with hit singles like "Every Morning" and "Someday."
