For the last decade plus, the words “Yeah,” “Ok,” and “What” have been synonymous with
mulB-plaBnum, Grammy award winning arBst Lil Jon. He has been one of the most prominent
figures in music and pop culture alike, performing for hundreds of thousands of fans with Usher
& Ludacris, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Pitbull, TLC (on FOX’s American Idol), Yandel, LMFAO and
Sydney Samson just to name a few. In 2014, Lil Jon proved once again he’s a powerhouse arBst
teaming up with DJ Snake for their smash hit “Turn Down for What,” which created a massive
worldwide craze. The string of hit songs haven’t stop a]er that including “Bend Ova” feat. Tyga,
“Prison Riot” with Flosstradamus, “Get Loose,” (out on DIM MAK) and recent singles “Live the
Night,” with Hardwell “Savage,” with Borgeous and Riggi & Piros and “Take It Off” featuring
Yandel and Becky G.
His success as a mainstay in the DJ-world is evident with a current residency at Hakkasan
Nightclub (MGM Grand) along with Jewel Nightclub at Aria Resort & Casino. Previously, Lil Jon
had a DJ residency for over five years at the Wynn/Encore (Surrender, Tryst, XS); even being
named the Las Vegas Resident DJ of The Year. He has traveled the globe DJing worldwide in
places such as, but not limited to France, Germany, South Korea, China, India, Dubai, London,
Mexico, and Australia.
Lil Jon conBnues to be a master at markeBng and business as evident by being tapped by Bud
Light [Fall 2015] to star in their #UpForWhatever commercial and campaign. He’s had an Oakley
endorsement deal since 2005, became a Don Julio tequila brand ambassador, partnered with
SOL headphones - which helped to launch SOL Deck by starring in the Radio Shack commercial
in Fall 2013 – and has launched his own clothing line 2Vicious. His markeBng chops came in
helpful when casted on NBC’s primeBme show Celebrity Appren3ce (Spring 2011) quickly
becoming a fan-favorite naBonwide. Lil Jon was back on primeBme television in the Spring of
2013 on the cast of Celebrity Appren3ce All-Stars, where he came in 3rd and raised almost
$200,000 for the American Diabetes AssociaBon.
Known best for his role in creaBng and popularizing the southern movement and lifestyle
known as Crunk, Lil Jon delivered a string of regional hits (in the 90’s) with the East Side Boyz
eventually becoming a naBonal force in 2001 thanks to the tracks “Bia Bia” and “Put Yo Hood
Up.” Crunk became so popular that Jon became a fixture on Chappelle’s Show and arBsts not
directly connected to him (such as Mary J. Blige) began using the word Crunk in their own
music. Jon helped usher the word ‘Crunk’ not only a naBonal scale, but worldwide. The
Merriam-Webster DicBonary added the word into their book in 2007.
Lil Jon has a long list of plaBnum-selling producBons, cra]ing groundbreaking hits for a diverse
array of arBsts such as E-40, Usher, Ciara, The Ying Yang Twins, Ice Cube and more. He’s 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 arBst, he has sold millions of records as the
frontman of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, whose smash hits “Get Low” and “What U Gon’ Do”
have been among some of the biggest crossover hip-hop records. His songs have been featured
in huge blockbuster movies and television shows including The Hangover, Neighbors 1 & 2, The
Proposal, the Step Up franchise, FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance, Black-Ish, HBO’s Ballers,
Horrible Bosses, NBC’s Parks & Recrea3on, The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Tonight Show with
Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and many more.
His consistent hitmaking has earned him legions of fans from Los Angeles to New York to the
Midwest and of course his naBve region, the South. This is no more evident as Lil Jon won BMI’s
Songwriter of the Year award as well as scored eight Billboard Awards (for the two hit Usher
tracks “Yeah!” and “Lovers and Friends”), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET award, two
MTV Video Music Awards, and an American Music Award.
