Life and career

1979–2006: Early life and career beginnings

Dillard was born on September 16, 1979,[2][1] and lived in the Carol City neighborhood of Miami Gardens, Florida with his parents and family. He has seven sisters, the youngest of whom is his twin. Some of his sisters sang in a local gospel group.[6] His brother-in-law was a hype man for local rap group 2 Live Crew, and while in ninth grade, Flo Rida joined an amateur rap group called the GroundHoggz.[7] The GroundHoggz had been a three-man group, with members who lived in the same apartment complex as Flo Rida. They started recording at underground studios in Carver Ranches.[8] The GroundHoggz, in this four-man incarnation, remained together for eight years. Early on in his career one of his sisters, Julia, died due to bronchitis. Her death greatly affected Dillard and his career, with him telling MTV, "I was very close to her, and I told myself that I was going to do this for my sister."[9]

While he was performing rapper Fresh Kid Ice took notice and asked him to be his hype man, and shortly after he took him for a show in Hawaii.[10] Flo Rida considers this period his schooling. With The GroundHoggz, they were featured guests on Fresh Kid Ice's album Freaky Chinese (2004).[11][12]

Flo Rida's work with Fresh Kid Ice attracted the attention of DeVante Swing, a member of the band Jodeci. However, he was rejected by several of the major labels, so he sought a number of other jobs outside of music.[13] After graduating from high school in 1998, he studied international business management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for two months and attended Barry University for two months.[13][14] He returned to Florida to continue pursuing his music career after receiving a phone call from a representative of the independent label Poe Boy Entertainment.[13]

Flo Rida was associated with The Eastside Boyz, as featuring artist in 2000. In year 2004, he began affiliating himself for with other Southern hip hop artists, such as Rick Ross, Trina, T-Pain, and Trick Daddy. A promotional single entitled "Birthday", featuring Rick Ross, was his first significant release. He made his debut guest appearance with the song "Bitch I'm From Dade County" on DJ Khaled's album We the Best (2007), which also features Trick Daddy, Trina, Rick Ross, Brisco, C-Ride, and Dre.[15]
