Anderson .Paak

The same year, he debuted his collaborative R&B super-duo Silk Sonic, alongside Bruno Mars, whose single "Leave The Door Open" garnered over one billion streams, earned them four more Grammys and lead to a sold-out Vegas residency. Now an 9x Grammy Award winner, producer, songwriter, artist & director, Anderson .Paak continues to expand his achievements. Debuting in 2022, his alter ego DJ Pee .Wee showcases his Vinyl DJ sets with past performances at the likes of the Met Gala, F1 Las Vegas, and Coachella. Meanwhile, he founded his label ApeShit, teaming up with Universal Music Group, while also directing multiple music videos, landing a 2022 BET Award for "Best Director" and being credited on the highly regarded music video for Leon Bridges’ "Motorbike." .Paak premiered his feature film directorial debut K-POPS at TIFF in September 2024 to a standing ovation. K-POPS is slated for a wide release in 2026. His latest album, Why Lawd? under his group project NxWorries with producer Knxwledge won the Best Progressive R&B Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. He also continues his philanthropic efforts with the Brandon Anderson Foundation with his annual .Paak House event which benefits under-served youth in areas of art & music.
