Nick Cannon began performing at the age of eight. Later he formed rap duo

Smith, LFO, 98 Degrees, and Montell Jordan. When he was sixteen, he moved to
Hollywood. He performed at comedy clubs such as The Improv, The Laugh
Factory and the Comedy Store. He began working for Nickelodeon. Nick started
off as a stand-up to warm up the audience of All That. He quickly landed a
starring role on the show in 1998. He landed his own show on the channel,
The Nick Cannon Show, which he starred, executive produced, created and
composed the theme song for.

He also has collaborated with many musicians such as Lil Romeo, 3LW and
appeared on soundtracks. He released his 2003 eponymous debut album, which
sold 200,000 copies, and went on tour with B2K in the summer of 2003.
Cannon is the producer and host of MTV's improv comedy show Wild 'N Out
which debuted in 2005, and features actors such as Katt Williams. He also
released his first single, "Can I Live," featuring Anthony Hamilton, from
Cannon's upcoming album, Stages, the same year. He once dated singer /
actress Christina Milian. At one point, he was rumored to be dating Lindsay
Lohan.
His song "Can I Live" has attracted positive attention from the pro-life
movement, praising the pro-life message of the video. While he claims the
video is not meant to be pro-life, but "pro-Nick," the video is clearly
political. In addition to the actual lyrics, the video includes abortion
protestors, an angelic-looking Cannon, a young woman jumping up from an
abortion procedure and running out of the clinic in a panic when she changes
her mind, and a large crowd of children wearing "Can I Live" shirts. The
music video is based on the actual story of Cannon's mother considering
abortion.
Cannon is "hilarious" according to a fictional version of Dave Chappelle's
son on Chappelle's Show.
He is a Born-again Christian. |
