Mini bio

How it started.

Born Christopher Brian Bridges in Champaign, Illinois, Ludacris moved to Atlanta as a young teen. He wrote his first rhyme at nine, then studied Music Management at Georgia State University. A radio internship led to station promos and an on-air identity as Chris Lova Lova.

The breakthrough.

His independent debut Incognegro preceded Back for the First Time, his 2000 major-label breakthrough. “What’s Your Fantasy,” featuring Shawnna, and “Southern Hospitality” introduced a wider audience to his voice and humor. Word of Mouf and Chicken-n-Beer followed, while “Stand Up” became one of his signature records.

Records and roles.

Release Therapy brought him the 2007 GRAMMY for Best Rap Album, alongside a Best Rap Song win for “Money Maker.” He had already shared the 2005 Best Rap/Sung Collaboration award with Usher and Lil Jon for “Yeah!” On screen, he first played Tej in 2 Fast 2 Furious in 2003 and returned across the franchise, including Fast X.

Something for the next generation.

He created and executive produced Karma’s World, inspired by his eldest daughter. Its young rapper uses music to express herself and work through challenges. His community work also includes The Ludacris Foundation, founded in 2001 to support young people, families, and communities.
