K’naan, born Keinan Abdi Warsame in 1978, is a Somali-Canadian poet, rapper, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist.

Born in Somalia, K’naan spent his childhood in Mogadishu and lived there during the Somali Civil War, which began in 1991. His aunt, Magool, was one of Somalia’s most famous singers. K’naan’s grandfather, Haji Mohammad, was a poet. He is Muslim, and his name, Keinan, means “traveler” in the Somali language. He spent the early years of his life listening to the hip-hop records sent to him from America by his father, who had left Somalia earlier. When he was 13, K’naan, his mother, and his three siblings, older brother, Liban, and younger sisters Naciimo, Sagal left their homeland and joined relatives in New York City, where they stayed briefly before moving to Canada, to the Toronto neighbourhood of Rexdale, where there was a large Somali community and his family still resides. There, K’naan began learning English, partly by listening to hip hop albums by artists like Nas and Rakim. Despite the fact that he could not yet speak the language, the young K’naan taught himself hip-hop and rap diction, copying the lyrics and style phonetically. He then also began rapping.

While growing up in Rexdale, K’naan spent time in prison and lost many friends to murder, suicide, prison, and deportation.

He is married to Deqa, a pharmacist. They have two sons, born in 2005 and 2007.

She also encouraged him to begin working on his musical career by sending him to school in Pacific Palisades. While attending school in the Palisades, Adams became best friends with Allan Lindo (stage name apl.de.ap), also a future member of the Black Eyed Peas. While still in high school, the duo performed in East L.A. clubs and were soon joined by three other entertainers to form the socially conscious rap group, Atban Klann.

He also co-wrote the international hits “Right Round” by Flo Rida and “Wavin’ Flag” by K’naan.

Peter Hernandez Jr. was born and raised in Hawaii by parents Peter Hernandez and Bernadette “Bernie” of Puerto Rican and Filipino descent. Hernandez was one of 6 children, (brother Eric and sisters Jaime “Kailani”, Tiara, Tahiti and Presley). He came from a musical family giving him a diverse mix of reggae, rock, hip hop, and R&B. From a young age, he was impersonating and performing songs by influential artists such as Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. In 1990 Hernandez was featured in MidWeek magazine as “Little Elvis”. He played Little Elvis in the movie Honeymoon in Vegas in 1992. He attended President Theodore Roosevelt High School, graduating in 2003 at age 17, and shortly after moved to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career. His first musical appearance as a singer was in Far*East Movement’s second studio album Animal, featured on the track “3D”, produced by The Stereotypes.

He reached prominence as a solo artist after not only writing, but featuring on “Nothin’ on You” by B.o.B. and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire”. He said of them, “I think those songs weren’t meant to be full-sung songs. If I’d sung all of “Nothin’ on You”, it might’ve sounded like some ’90s R&B.” It was soon announced after this success that Mars would be releasing his debut EP, titled It’s Better If You Don’t Understand on May 11, 2010. His debut single titled “Just the Way You Are”, from his forthcoming studio album, was released on July 19, 2010. It has so far peaked at 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.
