Bow Wow is an American rap singer and actor. He is best known for his hit single Bounce With Me from the album Beware Of Dog.
Bow Wow's birth name is Shad Gregory Moss and he was born on March 9, 1987 in Reynoldsburg, Columbus, Ohio. His father left his mother when he was just a baby. His mother, Teresa then raised him along with his stepfather Rodney Caldwell. He has two stepsisters. As a child, he showed great interest in rap music and by the time he was 5, he started competing in local talent competitions using the name Kid Gangsta.
Bow Wow got his first break in 1993 when his performance was noticed by rappers Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at a Chronic tour in Columbus. They gave him the name Lil Bow Wow and hired him as an opening act on the Death Row Records roster.
In 1998, Bow Wow was introduced to music producer, Jermaine Dupri who then signed him for his label So So Def Recordings. Bow Wow then started working on his debut album along with Dupri and Brian Michael Cox. In 2000, when he was just 13 years old, he released his debut album Beware of Dog.
