Anderson Paak Wife, Son, Mom, Family, Age, Height, Net Worth

As a teenager, Anderson Paak was already producing music from the comfort of his bedroom, despite the hardships that surrounded his younger days. He grew up with an abusive father and once witnessed him beating the daylight out of his mother, after which he was sent to prison and never returned alive. Admittedly, growing up was a turbulent time for Paak, but he did not let his dark days determine his future.

Before becoming an American rapper, songwriter, drummer, singer, and record producer, Anderson Paak worked on a mar*juana farm in Santa Barbara to support his family. Ironically, the misfortune of losing his job on the farm and becoming homeless with his wife and little boy changed his story as he was able to focus more on his music. As a result, he gradually built a celebrated solo career and together with record producer, Knxwledge formed one half of the duo known as NxWorries.
