He worked as a session drummer in Los Angeles before launching a solo career under the name Breezy Lovejoy and then, from 2014, as Anderson.Paak. His breakthrough came through featuring extensively on Dr. Dre's Compton (2015), after which he signed with Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. His albums Malibu (2016, Steel Wool\/OBE\/Empire) and Ventura (2018, Aftermath) established him as a major figure in contemporary R\u0026amp;B and hip hop. In 2021 he formed the duo Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars, whose debut album An Evening with Silk Sonic won Record and Song of the Year at the 2022 Grammys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnderson.Paak's sound combines R\u0026amp;B, soul, hip hop, and funk with live drumming, vocal harmonies, and groove-based arrangements that draw on 1970s soul traditions.
