**Qwanell **Anthony Mosley (born on September 29, 1988 in Rochester, New York), better known as "Que", is an American singer who is best known for being a contestant, and winner on the hit TV show Making the Band 4. He was the youngest member of the group Day26 signed to Bad Boy Records, along with their former label members, Danity Kane and Donnie Klang. Que was one of the five members of the group including, Robert Curry, Willie Taylor, Brian Andrews, and Michael McCluney.
Mosley was born on September 29, 1988 in Rochester, New York to parents of African American descent Nicole Williams and Tony Mosley. At the age of four Que lost his father and relied on his mother, his sisters and grandfather for support throughout his growing years. Que always had aspirations of being a singer. He attended SOTA high school in Rochester where he performed in school plays such as "The Wiz", "Ragtime", and "All Night Strut". He also had a group in Rochester that helped him to prepare for his music career. In 2011, Que changed his stage name to "Anthony Q" because he wanted a fresh start and new beginnings.
In January 2007 Mosley went on MTV's hit TV show "Making The Band 4" and left Five Towns College where he studied business and audio engineering. Que auditioned at a club in New York City where he made it through three cuts in order to audition for Sean Combs. In season 1, after beating out numerous contestants for a spot in Sean Combs' guy group; Mosley, Robert Curry, Micheal McCluney, Brian Andrews, and Willie Taylor were put into the group Day 26. The name Day26 was an inspiration of the date they were selected, August 26, 2007.
In late 2007, the show came back for a second season, with the group working on their first studio album (self titled Day26), along with fellow Making The Band 4 winner Donnie Klang and Making The Band 3 winners, girl group Danity Kane, living in a house together, all recording new albums and often competing with each other. Since Season 2 of Making the Band 4, Mosley has been romantically involved with fellow Making the Band winner Dawn Richard.
In late 2008, "Making The Band 4" came back for a third season, which followed Danity Kane and Day 26 on tour, living in a house together, and enjoying life. Instead of "making a band" the shows focus turned to controversy and drama. It showed the groups' friendships, relationships, and drama in and out of the studio and industry.
Day 26 and Donnie Klang came back in August 2008 for Making the Band 4, Season 3, Part 2. During the season, he and the group recorded their second studio album and while doing so, Mosley had frequent arguments and disagreements with the other members of the group as well as their manager Screwface, which lead to a bad public image and even a physical fight within the group. However he and the group worked out their issues and went on to promote their second album, "Forever in a Day".
As disagreements continued with the group, on December 18, 2009, Mosley confirmed that Day 26 had asked him to leave the group. He stated that all he wanted was an audit, and new management, but the group simply did not agree and was forced to remove him from the group. He also said on his latest Ustream video that he did not mind recording with the group again.
After a short break **Qwanell **partnered with Industry Executive Cliff Jones of Washington, D.C. based production Soul World Entertainment in early 2010 with buzz about his new solo mixtape which he titled "The Q Files", immediately dropping his first single, "Shake That".
