Notorious for turning down for no-one, US rapper and DJ Lil Jon will be bringing his crunk juice to
Australia, storming six cities in 10 days for a national DJ Tour including Darwin March 5th
.
After rising to prominence a decade ago as the face of the crunk movement, Lil Jon has been
embraced by an entire new generation of fans as the EDM juggernaut continues to embrace his
gritty, growling tones.

His 2013 collaboration with DJ Snake, Turn Down for What, has grown to become an anthem in the
global dance world and the phrase itself is now part of partying lexicon.

Aussies definitely love a bit of Lil Jon - his Australian tour last November was a sell-out success, and
his collaboration with DJ Snake, 'Turn Down For What', became his highest-charting ARIA single to
date, going double platinum!

For the last decade, the words “Yeah,” “Ok,” and “What” have been synonymous with Grammy
award winning artist Lil Jon. He has been one of the most prominent figures in music and pop culture
alike, performing for hundreds of thousands of fans with Afrojack, Steve Aoki and Sydney Samson at
Ultra Music Festival. The last few years have proven that he’s a mainstay in music as he went back to
his DJing roots - with a residency at The Wynn/Encore in Las Vegas - bringing his “Let’s F**** Lose It”
tour all across the country and over-seas. The success of his Vegas residency is evident, even being
named the Las Vegas Resident DJ of The Year (Surrender, Tryst, XS).

Lil Jon continues to be a master at marketing and business with an Oakley endorsement deal (since
2005), becoming a Don Julio tequila brand ambassador, partnering with SOL headphones - helping
to launch SOL Deck by starring in the Radio Shack commercial in Fall 2013 - and launching his own
clothing line 2Vicious. His marketing chops came in helpful when casted on NBC’s primetime show
Celebrity Apprentice (Spring 2011) quickly becoming a fan-favorite nationwide. Lil Jon was back on
primetime television in the Spring of 2013 on the cast of Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars where he
came in 3rd and raised almost $200,000 for the American Diabetes Association.

Known best for his role in creating and popularizing the southern movement and lifestyle known as
Crunk, Lil Jon delivered a string of regional hits (in the 90’s) with the East Side Boyz eventually
becoming a national force in 2001 thanks to the tracks “Bia Bia” and “Put Yo Hood Up.” Crunk
became so popular that Jon became a fixture on Chappelle’s Show and artists not directly connected
to him (such as Mary J. Blige) began using the word Crunk, in their own music. Jon helped usher the
word ‘Crunk’ not only a national scale, but worldwide. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary added the
word into their book in 2007.

Widely known for his platinum-selling productions, Lil Jon has crafted groundbreaking hits for a
diverse array of artists such as Usher, Ciara, The Ying Yang Twins, E-40, Ice Cube and more. He’s also
worked with will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Bret Michaels, Travis Barker, Jennifer Lopez,
Machine Gun Kelly and many more. As an artist, he has sold millions of records as the frontman of Lil
Jon & The East Side Boyz, whose smash hits “Get Low” and “What U Goin’ Do” have been among
some of the biggest crossover hip-hop records. His songs have been featured in huge blockbuster
movies including The Hangover, The Proposal and the Step Up franchise.

His consistent hitmaking has earned him legions of fans from Los Angeles to New York to the
Midwest and of course his native region, the South. This is no more evident as Lil Jon won BMI’s
Songwriter of the Year award as well as scored eight Billboard Awards (for the two hit Usher tracks
“Yeah!” and “Lovers and Friends”), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET award, two MTV Video
Music Awards, and an American Music Award.
