For over a decade, the exclamations "YEAHHH", "OKAYY" and "WHATTT" have been inextricably linked with the multi-platinum, GRAMMY® award-winning artist Lil Jon. He is one of the most influential figures in music and pop culture, performing in front of hundreds of thousands of fans alongside Usher & Ludacris, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Pitbull, TLC (on FOX's American Idol), Becky G, Offset, LMFAO, Too $hort and E-40 - just to name a few. Lil Jon is best known for his role in helping to shape and popularize the movement and lifestyle known as crunk, which originated in the southern United States. In the 90s, he landed a series of regional hits with the East Side Boyz before they finally broke through nationally in 2001 thanks to the tracks "Bia Bia" and "Put Yo Hood Up". Their iconic albums include "We Still Crunk!","Put Yo Hood Up","Kings of Crunk" and "Crunk Juice". Lil Jon has a long list of platinum-selling productions and has crafted groundbreaking hits for a wide range of artists including E-40, Usher, Ciara, The Ying Yang Twins, Ice Cube and many more. He has also worked with will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Bret Michaels, Travis Barker, Jennifer Lopez, Machine Gun Kelly, DJ Snake and many more. As an artist, he sold millions of records as the frontman of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz; their megahits "Get Low" and "What U Gon' Do" are among the biggest cross-genre hip-hop successes. His consistently successful output has earned him fans from Los Angeles to New York to the Midwest - and of course in his home region, the South. He has also toured the world as a DJ, including France, Germany, South Korea, China, India, Dubai, London, Mexico and Australia. Lil Jon has won two BMI Songwriter of the Year Awards and has also won eleven Billboard Awards (for the two Usher hits "Yeah!" and "Lovers and Friends"), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET Award, two MTV Video Music Awards and an American Music Award.
