A musical prodigy who is proficient in fifteen instruments, Flavor Flav first burst onto the scene in the late '80s, where he emerged as a rapper, hype man, and co-founder of the legendary hip-hop group Public Enemy. Possessing the most sampled voice in the history of hip-hop, Flavor Flav (along with his group) was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2020.

In addition to his culture-shifting career in hip-hop, Flavor Flav furthered his mark on the world with his foray into reality television, where he displayed an unparalleled penchant for breaking records. His reality television series, Flavor of Love (2006), still stands as the most viewed and highly rated non-sports TV program of all time, having achieved a record-shattering 7.5 million viewers during its Season 2 Finale.

As he continues to perform with Public Enemy on the global stage, Flavor Flav has, in recent years, also expanded his talents to the mediums of narrative film and scripted television. A gifted and experienced actor in his own right, he has appeared in several feature films, including New Jack City (1991), Freefighter (2005), and Hold On (2019).
