ABOUT LLOYD
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and raised in Decatur, Georgia, Lloyd is a multi-platinum R&B singer-songwriter, rapper, dancer and actor. Getting his start as a member of the teen pop group N-Toon, Lloyd began his solo career in 2003 and subsequently signed a record deal with Murder Inc. Records. In 2004, Lloyd dropped his debut single “Southside,” the title-track from his debut album. The R&B anthem quickly charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became a Top 40 hit. The rising star found mainstream success with his sophomore album, “Street Love” (2007), which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced the smash hits “You” (featuring Lil Wayne) and “Get It Shawty.”
Lloyd continued to top charts with his third album “Lesson in Love” (2008), and his feature on Young Money’s hit single “BedRock” propelled him into the spotlight. Following the release of “King of Hearts” (2011), Lloyd went on a five-year hiatus. He reemerged in 2016 with “Tru,” an introspective, blues-inspired record with 100 million cumulative streams. In 2019, Lloyd joined an all-star lineup of early-2000s artists for The Millennium Tour, which quickly became one of the year’s most popular shows. Throughout his career, Lloyd’s artistry has evolved and matured, but he never fails to deliver an entertaining show.
