Mini bio
How it started.
Growing up in Long Beach, Calvin Broadus got the nickname Snoopy from his mother, who saw a resemblance to the Peanuts character. Church speeches and performances gave him early practice in front of an audience. By middle school, he was rapping for friends in the hallways.
Finding his sound.
His partnership with Dr. Dre began with “Deep Cover” and grew through Dre’s 1992 album The Chronic. His own debut, Doggystyle, followed in 1993, bringing fans “Gin and Juice” and “Who Am I? (What’s My Name?).” Later collaborations with Pharrell, including “Beautiful” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” introduced another side of his sound.
Coming full circle.
Snoop explored reggae as Snoop Lion and gospel with Bible of Love before acquiring the Death Row Records brand in 2022. He returned to Dr. Dre for Missionary in 2024, then followed with the gospel project Altar Call and the rap album Iz It a Crime? in 2025. His television work also includes coaching on The Voice.
