Ludacris is the stage name of Chris Bridges, born on 11 September 1977, in Champaign, Illinois, USA. During his early years he moved to Atlanta, which is where he would go on to make a name for himself as one of the most prominent Dirty South rappers of the new millennium. Ludacris' musical career goes back to childhood. To infancy, in fact. Born while his parents were still in college he found himself at many house partys, soaking in the music at an age most kids are still teething.

Ludacris began his music career as a radio DJ personality, Chris Lova Lova, on the V103 urban radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. He eventually landed a gig on Atlanta's then-new hip-hop station Hot 97.5 gaining a job producing the night show. It was here that Ludacris worked his rhymes on the mic, got the 411 on the music industry and became known throughout the Atlanta area. Eventually, Ludacris leaned toward a career as an MC rather than as a radio disc jockey. Ludacris made his mark rapping on voice over promos. He ended up being as recognizable as some of the deejays.
