SNOOP DOGG – 49 YEARS OLD

Snoop Dogg may be a worldwide superstar today, but just like most artists,  the rapper also had to start from scratch. When he was young, Snoop frequently sang and played the piano for his local church, the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church. His time with the church can be given credit for starting Snoop Dogg’s interest in music.

However, during his teenage years, Snoop Dogg ran into some challenges, but with the help of his music, he was able to pull himself out of a dark phase. In 1994, the rapper broke out into the music industry after being discovered by fellow rapper Dr. Dre. He chose to adopt the name Snoop Doggy Dogg which later became Snoop Dogg as a homage to the nickname his mother gave him as a child. Today, he is one of the most recognizable figures in the rap industry.
