Bio
Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., known worldwide as Snoop Dogg, was born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California. Rising from the streets of Long Beach to global stardom, he became one of the most influential figures in hip-hop. Introduced to Dr. Dre in the early 1990s, Snoop made his debut on Deep Cover and Dre’s landmark album The Chronic. His first solo project, Doggystyle (1993), entered the Billboard 200 at number one and produced timeless hits like Gin and Juice and What’s My Name?. Over the next three decades, he sold more than 35 million albums worldwide while evolving his sound across gangsta rap, funk, reggae, gospel, and beyond. Snoop’s impact extends far outside music. He has starred in films (Training Day, Starsky & Hutch), voiced animated series, co-hosted with Martha Stewart, and built a media and business empire spanning cannabis, wine, gaming, and sports. In 2022, he acquired Death Row Records, and in 2024 he reunited with Dr. Dre on Missionary, hailed as a return to form. A philanthropist through the Snoop Youth Football League, Emmy-winning broadcaster, and 2023 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Snoop Dogg remains a cultural icon whose influence reaches well beyond hip-hop.
