As an entertainer and businessman with many layers, CeeLo Green cannot be summed up in just one title. He is a five-time Grammy® winning singer-songwriter-producer, television personality, actor, entrepreneur, pop culture and fashion icon, and professional "lady killer."

In 2011, Green received five Grammy nominations for his worldwide hit Forget You (aka F—k You), winning the category for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. The single is certified Gold in the United States and Denmark and achieved platinum status in Canada, New Zealand and the UK, as well as multi-platinum status in Australia. In October 2012, Green released his Christmas album CeeLo's Magic Moment, which features the single All I Need is Love, with The Muppets. He also released a new Goodie Mob album in August 2013 entitled Age Against the Machine, and he has an upcoming, new solo album entitled Girl Power, set to be released in 2014. He's made memorable appearances on Saturday Night Live and Oprah, presented at the ESPYs and Kids' Choice Awards, and delivered remarkable performances at the 2012 Super Bowl with Madonna, The Grammy Awards with The Muppets, the Brit Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, the Soul Train Awards and the BET Awards. He has achieved such hit mainstream status that even Gwyneth Paltrow covered Forget You on Glee. Green has also landed the cover of Fast Company's 2012 "Most Creative People in Business" issue, as well as Rolling Stone magazine and Jet magazine.

In addition to his success as a recording artist, CeeLo Green has completed three seasons as a coach on NBC's hit show The Voice alongside Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. He took a hiatus for the fourth season to focus on music, but returned to the hit show for the fifth season. He has also made guest-appearances on NBC's popular show Parenthood, FOX's American Dad and Nickelodeon's How To Rock, and he hosted his own talk show CeeLo Green Talking to Strangers on FUSE TV.

On top of his television work, CeeLo Green is also transitioning his career into acting and has made an impact on the film industry by starring in Sparkle, Whitney Houston's last film. Additionally, he is the voice of Murray the Mummy in the Sony animated film Hotel Transylvania, with Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez and Andy Samberg. Green will also star in the John Carney film Can a Song Save Your Life? alongside Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo and Catherine Keener, which is slated for a 2013 release. With a strong passion and natural talent for acting, CeeLo has big plans to further his career as an actor and film/TV producer and as a result has developed his own production company, Emerald Productions, in partnership with Primary Wave Music (Green's management company).

Last year, CeeLo Green wrapped the first run of his new Las Vegas show CeeLo Green is Loberace at Planet Hollywood, which ran February through April. More of a spectacle than a show, the production took audience members on a ride through the colorful decades of music, stopping at legendary moments in time, from Prince to Blue Magic to The Rolling Stones, new wave to disco and beyond. Visually, the production combined his flamboyant sense of style and over-the-top creativity, magnified and intensified, with his soulful voice covering some of his favorite music, as well as original songs.

CeeLo Green truly approaches the industry as a businessman. He was appointed Chief Creative Officer of Primary Wave Music, the management company he signed with in 2010 and is one of the largest independent music publishing, marketing and talent management companies in the US. He is co-owner of a premium Sake brand TY KU; is the Brand Ambassador of eDiets; the voice behind the NFL's Thursday Night Football theme song; remixed the iconic Meow Mix Jingle; became the face of ad campaigns such as 7UP and Las Vegas Tourism; and released a book in 2013.

CeeLo Green first came onto the music scene as a member of the southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob, along with Big Gipp, T-Mo and Khujo, who have reunited and released their new album Age Against the Machine earlier this year. The new album includes the new Goodie Mob single Special Education, featuring Janelle Monae.

Goodie Mob released their first album Soul Food in 1995, propelling them to the top of the emerging Southern rap scene. The Southern hip hop group then released two more albums: Still Standing in 1998 and World Party in 1999. After Green's success with Goodie Mob, he reinvented himself and formed Gnarls Barkley with deejay-producer Danger Mouse. Together, they released the 2006 worldwide hit Crazy, which reached #1 in various singles charts worldwide. In the U.S., Crazy reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following Gnarls Barkley, Green put his time back into his solo career as CeeLo Green and released the 2010 album The Lady Killer, which featured his hit single Forget You.

On a personal note, CeeLo Green grew up in Atlanta. Both of his parents were ordained ministers, and he started his music career in church. His father died when he was just 2 years old, and his mother, Sheila J. Callaway, a volunteer firefighter, was in a fatal car accident and died when he was 18. His mother and grandmother were both very involved in various philanthropic efforts. So in August 2012, to continue his family legacy, Green and his sister Shedonna launched GreenHouse Foundation, a non-profit organization with a mission to help make "green education" easier and accessible to students in underserved school districts.
