History Of Will Smith
Who is Will Smith? It is really hard to get to know somebody without ever actually meeting them, but in this lens I am going to teach you the history of Will Smith.
Will Smith in the beginning
Birthdate- 25 September 1968, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Birth name- Willard Christopher Smith Jr.
Height- 6'2
Early Life- Very few performers have had as much success transitioning from the music scene to the film realm as Will Smith has. Being in the entertainment scene since the late 80s, today, Smith is one of the most recognized and esteemed performers and producers in the industry.
Will Smith was born Willard Christopher Smith Jr on September 25th, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended Overbrook High School in Winfield Pennsylvania, which is where he soon became known to his friends as "The Prince," for his charming antics. Little did he know that this nickname would still have meaning over 30 years later.
At the early age of 12, Smith began rapping and developing his own style under the influence of hip-hop legend, Grandmaster Flash. Four years later, at only 16, he met Jeff Townes, also known as DJ Jazzy Jeff, who he eventually collaborated with under the title, Fresh Prince. The two produced a number of songs including the worldwide hit, Girls Ain't Nothin But Trouble, and in 1989, the duo won their first Grammy for Best Rap Performance for Parents Just Don't Understand. Shortly thereafter, they won another Grammy in 1991 for Summertime. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince continued to make music together until their final album, Code Red, which was released in 1993. Even though this was the end for the rap duo, Smith re-emerged as a solo artist in 1997 with his debut LP, Big Willie Style and continues to make and produce music today. *source*
