Donald Glover, the genius behind Childish Gambino, has a talent that knows no bounds. Fresh off the release of his 2011 album Camp, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Billboard Rap and R&B charts, Glover has distinguished himself as a talented rapper with a sophisticated sense of production and composition in his tracks. Singles like “Bonfire,” “Heartbeat,” and 2010’s “Freaks and Geeks” showcase Glover’s ability to pair introspective lyrics with danceable, hard beats.

Influenced by hip-hop, gospel, and R&B, Glover sings his own hooks, utilizes real instruments in his tracks, and raps with a biting wit that reflects an expansive knowledge of and love for popular culture. Selling out venues in NYC and providing a raw, energetic performance at Bonnaroo in 2011, Glover is known for his amazing live shows that pulsate with energy and leave fans eager for more.
