Ludacris grew up with old-school music influences that fueled his desire to pursue a career behind the mic. At age 12, he signed up with a Chicago-based outfit called the Loudmouth Hooligans. As a member of this auspiciously named group, Ludacris honed his rhyming skills and live performances. He took part in every open mic session he could get his hand on.

Hire Ludacris for your festival or concert plans.

After having the chance to produce a hip-hop show at a local radio station, Ludacris saved enough money to release an independent album titled "Incognegro" in his label called Disturbing the Peace Entertainment. The single "What's Your Fantasy" caught the eye of Def Jam South, to which the rapper was signed on by the president, Scarface.

"Back For The First Time" saw an early 2000 release with the artist sinking his teeth into success. The album has been certified platinum.

The singles "Southern Hospitality" (featuring Pharrell) and "What's Your Fantasy" (featuring Shawnna), became top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He then released the albums Word of Mouf (2001), Chicken-n-Beer (2003) and The Red Light District (2004), all of which were certified multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His next two albums Release Therapy (2006) and Theater of the Mind (2008), explored more serious content than its predecessors.

In 2010, he was featured on Justin Bieber's single "Baby", which became one of the highest-certified singles of all time in the US and a defining song in modern-day popular music. His seventh album, Battle of the Sexes (2010), featured a return to the more lighthearted tone of his previous albums.

On March 31, 2017, Ludacris released a new single called "Vitamin D" featuring Ty Dolla $ign. That same year, Ludacris hosted YouTube's Best.Cover.Ever show.

Hire Ludacris for your very special event or occasion.

In 2018, he was featured on country singer Carrie Underwood's single "The Champion". The song peaked at number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the opening song for Super Bowl LII and 2018 Winter Olympics. On May 8, 2018, Ludacris received three nominations and one win at the 2018 CMT Music Awards.

In December 2022, it was announced that Ludacris would headline Janet Jackson's Together Again Tour.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE LUDACRIS?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire LUDACRIS for an event?)
(i.e., what is LUDACRIS booking fee to perform at an event?)

Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.

As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.

Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime. Generally, the artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
