Anderson .Paak on Being Homeless, Working as Weed Trimmer Before Dre

  • Before his fame, Anderson .Paak was getting money working on a legal marijuana farm trimming freshly grown herbs. As the seasons changed and his job decided to downsize, all the extra cash had gone out the window and at 24, with his pregnant wife, he found himself homeless. "I lost the job as a trimmer, and so I had nowhere to go. Now, I had a family to support, but I didn't have shelter." He told DJ Vlad, "I was homeless, yea, I was staying from couch to couch." Fortunately for the musician, he got gigs in between, but he admits that his wife did ride him about getting the necessities, like a car since they were living in L.A.
    Once his life stabilized, and he found himself back on his feet, he says he readjusted his lifestyle and changed his name in the process. "Once I got on my feet, I started simplifying my life and developed a routine, and that was a time I changed my name from Breezy Lovejoy to Anderson .Paak." He said. "I went into this whole process where I was going to simplify my life and build a routine and develop a healthy work ethic."

    So many musicians have a story of hitting rock bottom and then suddenly they get stardom. I guess because you have to be at rock bottom to be willing to do what you have to do behind closed doors to get that shot.
