Childish Gambino

Born in California before moving to Georgia, Glover was famously voted Most Likely To Write For The Simpsons in his high school’s yearbook, despite his mother not letting him watch the show. After studying dramatic writing at university, Glover finally did submit a script for The Simpsons which, alongside his sketch group Derrick Comedy, caught the attention of 30 Rock creators Tina Fey and Dave Milner in 2006. Glover joined the show’s writing team for four years, and eventually found his way in front of the camera when he joined the cast of the NBC sitcom Community.

By the time the show premiered, Glover had already released a couple of low-key mixtapes like Sick Boy (2008) under the moniker Childish Gambino – a randomised suggestion from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. But he began to turn more attention to his musical side, and in 2011 embarked on the IAMDONALD tour before releasing his debut album Camp. Released on Glassnote Records, Camp was an early indicator of Glover’s eclectic tastes and dynamic rap talents, from the incendiary debut single ‘Bonfire’ to the tug on the melodic heartstrings on fan favourite ‘Heartbeat’.
