Biography
Ludacris (Christopher Brian Bridges) emerged as one of the first Dirty South rappers to achieve mainstream success in the early 2000s. Born September 11, 1977 in Champaign, Illinois, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where his rap career took root. Starting as a DJ, he founded Disturbing tha Peace in the late 1990s and released his debut studio album Incognegro in 1999. The single "What's Your Fantasy" featuring Shawnna became a top 40 hit, prompting Def Jam Recordings to re-release the album as Back for the First Time in 2000—a major-label debut that peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. "Southern Hospitality" featuring Pharrell followed as his second top 40 single.
Ludacris maintained commercial momentum through Word of Mouf (2001), Chicken-n-Beer (2003), and The Red Light District (2004), each receiving multi-platinum RIAA certifications. His fifth and sixth albums, Release Therapy (2006) and Theater of the Mind (2008), shifted toward more serious subject matter. Battle of the Sexes (2010) returned to his lighthearted earlier style. He scored two number-one Billboard Hot 100 singles as lead artist—"Stand Up" and "Money Maker" (the latter with Pharrell)—plus three as guest feature: Usher's "Yeah!" in 2004, Fergie's "Glamorous" in 2007, and Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart" in 2009. He guested on Justin Bieber's "Baby," now one of the highest-certified U.S. singles of all time.
Beyond music, Ludacris has acted in Fast & Furious films as Tej Parker since 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), plus roles in Crash (2004), Gamer (2009), and New Year's Eve (2011). In 2021, he created and starred in Netflix's animated children's series Karma's World. He holds three Grammy Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Critics' Choice Award, and an MTV Video Music Award. A private pilot, he occupies a Life Path 8 numerology—the number of material mastery and influence—fitting his dual dominance as rapper and actor. As a Virgo born in Georgia, he channels the sign's precision and drive.
