(3/13/03, 12 p.m. ET) -- Music-industry veteran Clive Davis--who founded Arista Records and who now oversees RCA Records and J Records--hosted a special performance by R&B singer Tyrese at the China Club in New York City on Tuesday (March 11th). Before Tyrese took the stage, Davis predicted that the singer's latest album, I Wanna Go There, will be certified platinum for a million sales within a month.
To reach that target, I Wanna Go There would have to sell more than 500,000 copies in a month's time since it has only sold about 450,000 copies to date.
At Tuesday's event, Tyrese performed several of his hits backed by dancers, closing his set with his latest hit, "How You Gonna Act Like That."
In related news, Tyrese is also slated to star in 2 Fast 2 Furious this summer. The Fast And The Furious sequel was directed by John Singleton, who directed Tyrese in his breakthrough role in Baby Boy.
