Common, a Grammy, Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning artist and Florida A&M University alumnus, is widely regarded as one of hip-hop’s most thoughtful lyricists. Beyond his musical achievements, he has established himself as a versatile force across the creative landscape. As an accomplished actor, he has delivered powerful performances in acclaimed films such as “Selma,” “John Wick: Chapter 2” and “Just Wright,” while also earning recognition for his roles in compelling television series. A dedicated storyteller, he is also a New York Times best-selling author, having penned poignant memoirs that reflect his journey and perspectives on life.

After rising to prominence with his acclaimed 1994 album, “Resurrection,” Common has remained one of hip-hop’s most respected voices for more than three decades. His most recent project, “The Auditorium, Vol. 1,” a collaboration with legendary producer Pete Rock, earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album and was praised by critics for its masterful fusion of jazz-infused production and mature, purposeful lyricism. A dynamic live performer, Common seamlessly weaves iconic classics such as “Be” and “Like Water for Chocolate” with the energy and insight of his latest work.
