Better known for his stage name, Pleasure P was born Marcus Ramone Cooper on December 27, 1984, and is a contemporary R&B singer who experienced success as a member of the group Pretty Ricky before embarking on a solo career in 2007.

In 2008, Pleasure P released his solo debut single, Did You Wrong, which rapidly made the Billboard Hot 100 list; though it only reached the top 90 on the U.S. charts, it was considered successful for an unprecedented debut, and also charted high on the R&B and Airplay Charts.

Also in 2008, Pleasure P released an EP entitled Boyfriend #2, including Did You Wrong and a promo single Boyfriend #2, being released digitally and as an LP disc, while videos for Did You Wrong and Boyfriend #2 were also released digitally and on MySpace.

Pleasure P's solo debut album, The Introduction of Marcus Cooper, was released on June 9, 2009, with Pleasure P explaining that the reason he named it that is because Pretty Ricky introduced fans to Pleasure P, but now Pleasure P is going to introduce them to Marcus Cooper, who left his as lead singer of the group last year. His career received an additional boost when the performer was featured in the second single from Flo Rida's album R.O.O.T.S., gaining a large amount of publicity from his presence on its guest list.
