Biography
Shad Gregory Moss, known by his stage name Bow Wow (formerly Lil' Bow Wow), is an American rapper and actor. Born March 9, 1987, he was discovered by Snoop Dogg at age six and signed to Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings in 1998.
As Lil' Bow Wow, his debut studio album Beware of Dog (2000) reached number 8 on the Billboard 200, followed by Doggy Bag (2001), which peaked at number 11. After signing with Columbia Records, his third album Unleashed (2003) peaked at number three—his first release without the "Lil'" prefix. His fourth album Wanted (2005) spawned his highest-charting singles: "Let Me Hold You" (featuring Omarion) and "Like You" (featuring Ciara), both top-five Billboard Hot 100 entries. His 2006 single "Shortie Like Mine" (featuring Chris Brown and Johntá Austin) entered the top ten and preceded The Price of Fame (2006). New Jack City II (2009) marked his final major-label release; he later signed with Cash Money Records (2009) and Bad Boy Records (2015) without releasing full projects.
Moss transitioned to acting with a cameo in All About the Benjamins (2002) and lead roles in Like Mike (2002) and Roll Bounce (2005). He appeared in Johnson Family Vacation (2004) and played a supporting role in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), reprising the character in F9 (2021). He had five episodes on Entourage and starred as Brody Nelson in CSI: Cyber until its 2016 cancellation. As a Pisces born under life-path 1 [F1, enrichments], Moss embodies the pioneering drive of a number-one archetype—initiating ventures, though often without sustained follow-through on later projects [enrichments].
