Bow Wow

He is also apparently a good friend of basketball star Allen Iverson, and there were rumors of him dating Kiely Williams, who is a member of singing group 3LW, but he denied any relationship between the two. Recently, the band has followed a more country music style. In addition to his own albums, Bow Wow has participated in Will Smith's album Wild Wild West (named after the movie which also stars Smith), he shot a video with Lizzie McGuire's star Hilary Duff, had a guest appearance on Brandy's show, Moesha, and made his acting debut in a movie named Like Mike, where he acts as a young orphan who gets a shot at the NBA. The Cardigans returned in 2003 with the quieter, more introspective Long Gone Before Daylight. He backed up his first album's (Beware of Dog) success with 2001's Doggy Bag, an album that contained such songs as Thank You, and Take You Home. Nina Persson released an album as A Camp, Peter Svensson worked on the project Paus with help from Joachim Berg of Kent, and Magnus Sveningsson recorded as Righteous Boy. Dogg later hired him as an opening act, and introduced him to Jermaine Dupri, a man who helped shape Moss' career. 1998's Gran Turismo was less popular, and was followed by a long hiatus during which the band members pursued solo side projects (however, they did collaborate with Tom Jones for a track on his 1999 album Reload).

One year later, he took off front stage during the Chronic tour and impressed rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg. "Lovefool" was a hit across the globe, especially in the United States and again in Japan, where the album reached platinum in only three weeks. When Moss was five, he started his career in rap, using the monicker Kid Gangsta. They were signed to Mercury Records thereafter, and released First Band on the Moon in 1996 was a marked departure from previous works, including more unusual accompaniment and lyrics with violent themes. He is a native of Columbus, Ohio. The rest of 1994 was spent touring Europe and recording Life, which was released in 1995. Life became an international success, selling more than a million copies worldwide and achieving platinum status in Japan. Moss' biological father never saw him, and he was raised by his mother and her husband with his daughter, Erica. The album was later voted the best of 1994 by a readers poll in Slitz magazine.

Shad Gregory Moss (born March 9, 1987) is a rapper who is better known in the music world as Bow Wow. Their debut album was Emmerdale (1994), which include the Swedish radio hit "Rise & Shine". Living together in a small apartment, The Cardigans recorded a demo tape which record producer Tore Johansson heard, leading to invitation to record at a studio in Malmö. Peter Svensson and Magnus Sveningsson, both heavy metal musicians, formed the group in 1992 in Jönköping, Sweden, with drummer Bengt Lagerberg, keyboardist Lars-Olof Johansson and lead singer Nina Persson. They remain best-known for their breakthrough album, Life (1995) and hit singles including "Lovefool", known as the title track in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.
