BOW WOW has been stepping out of the box since he was five years old--the first rap artist of his generation to become a legitimate entertainer, excelling as rapper, stage performer and actor. Bow Wow has sold more than 10 million in a string of platinum and gold albums with six number one singles and is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Youngest Solo Rapper ever to have a number one hit.

His first film, "Like Mike," grossed $35 million in its opening weekend. His subsequent film credits include "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," "Roll Bounce," "Johnson Family Vacation" and "Hurricane Season." He also has a recurring role on the critically acclaimed hit HBO series, "Entourage."

Music icon Snoop Dogg discovered the rapper at six and featured him on the groundbreaking album Doggystyle. Producer Jermaine Dupri then helped Lil Bow Wow explode onto the music scene in 2000 with Beware of Dog. Bow Wow also helped brand and headlined the groundbreaking Scream Tour which sold out Madison Square Garden three times. He collaborated in 2007 with R&B star Omarion for the gold-certified Face Off album and reunited with Dupri on the album New Jack City II, released in 2009.

The 2009 spring/fall campaign for Ocean Pacific (OP) featured Bow Wow alongside Solange, AnnaLynne McCord, Brody Jenner and others. In addition, Stephon Marbury hand-picked him as the first entertainer to join Starbury, the athletic apparel and footwear company revolutionizing the clothing industry with its stylish and affordable products. Bow Wow's male and female clothing and sneaker lines debuted in 2010.

Bow Wow literally took steps as a community activist with his "Walk Across America" tour to inspire voter involvement in 2008--resulting in more than 100,000 people registering to vote.
