How it started.

Born in Detroit, Alvin Joiner moved to Albuquerque as a child and later to Los Angeles.

Paparazzi introduced his voice to a wider audience.

The breakthrough.

Work with Dr. Dre and the Up in Smoke tour helped widen his audience. Restless became a platinum album, and Man vs. Machine followed in 2002. Fans who discovered him on MTV’s Pimp My Ride also met an actor: he played Malcolm Moore in Gridiron Gang and Shyne Johnson in Empire.
