Since stepping on the scene in 2000 with his distinctive vocals and larger-than-life personality, Nelly has continually raised the bar for the entertainment industry.
Just some of his hits include: Hot in Here, Dilemma [feat. Kelly Rowland], Country Grammar, Ride Wit Me, Just a Dream, Cruise reached diamond status, The Fix sampling Marvin Gaye, and summer sixteens dance anthem Millionaire with Cash Cash and Digital Animal Farm.
Nelly’s Country Grammar album and his song Cruise with FGL both achieved Diamond status in 2016, another season of top rated Real Husbands of Hollywood about to air and the second season of filming Nellyville is underway. Nelly also added sports commentator to his list of accomplishments with Fox Sports which makes him one of few actors with three television shows airing at one time.
In 2016, Nelly was featured in a unique opportunity to perform alongside the country’s most prestigious orchestras including St. Louis, Columbus and Pittsburgh garnering great reviews. Nelly has performed on NBC’s The Voice, The American Music Awards, ABC’s Greatest Hits and served as a judge on CW’s The Next.
The music mogul has also left his mark in other aspects of the industry, introducing his hugely successful women’s clothing line, Apple Bottoms and is part owner of the Charlotte Bobcats with Michael Jordan. In 2005, he made his big screen debut in the Adam Sandler and Chris Rock hit remake, The Longest Yard and in starred in Reach Me with Sylvester Stone 2014. Currently he supports Make a Wish and is the only rapper/music artist to own his own college, EI University, which provides education surrounding the music industry while Nelly himself provides scholarships.
American hip hop and R&B recording artist, producer and songwriter.
His music is often compared to fellow Chicago native and contemporary, Chance the Rapper, and his soulful tracks are similarly heavily influenced by his Christian upbringing, taking his fans back to the church – an experience mimicked in his uplifting live shows.
Sir the Baptist has performed at the Made in America Festival, Lollapalooza in his home town of Chicago, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Sasquatch! Music Festival, Voodoo Fest, Life is Beautiful Festival, Free Press Summer Fest and Shaky Beats Music Festival, among others. He opened for Beyoncé in Brooklyn the Tidal X 1015 event.
