IMx, formerly known as Immature, is an American hip-hop and R&B boy band. The brainchild of record producer Chris Stokes, its members include Marques "Batman" Houston (born August 4 1981), Jerome "Young Rome" Jones (born October 25 1981), and Kelton "LDB" Kessee (born January 2 1981.) Houston, Jones, and Kessee are all natives of Los Angeles, California. As Immature, the group released two Gold certified singles accompanied with two Gold certified albums. They followed this success with a Gold certified return as Imx in 1999.

Early History

In 1992 the original line up for Immature was formed. Original members were Marques "Batman" Houston, Jerome "Young Rome" Jones, Don "Half Pint" Santos. The members attended the same school, and decided to enter a talent show together. There they were discovered and signed on to Hook Management. Their parents were not sure this was the right option for them because of their age. At this time they were only 8 or 9 years old. In the end, they decided to go for it. In 1992 they signed with Virgin Records and released their first album "On Our Worst Behavior." The lead singles from this album were "Tear It Up (On Our Worst Behavior)," which was also featured on movie entitled Bebe's Kids, and "Da Munchies". It was during this time that they appeared in the movie House Party 3 as Kid's younger cousins.

This caused a problem for Santo's parents. The group was constantly on the road, and he missed a great deal of school. To fix the problem they hired tutors to travel with them, but it did not work out. His parents decided to take him out of the group, and he was replaced by Kelton "LDB" Kessee. Kessee at the time was the drummer for the group, and he was the same age as Houston and Jones. He still remained their drummer, but he became a member of the group.
