Anderson .Paak by far is my favorite artist. I can’t wait to see him in Atlanta at the One Music Fest. Paak was born into a Black and Korean family in Oxnard in 1986.[3] At the age of seven, Paak witnessed his estranged father—a former Air Force mechanic—attack his mother: “My little sister and I went out front, and my pops was on top of my mom. There was blood in the street. He was arrested, and that was the last time I saw him. I think he did 14 years.”[4] He began producing music from his bedroom as a teenager. His first experiences performing were as a drummer at his family’s church. In 2011, prior to being a successful working musician, Paak was working at a marijuana farm in Santa Barbara. He was let go without warning, becoming homeless together with his wife and infant son.[5] Find out more about him here.
