Too Short Booking Agency Profile

Book Too Short for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Too Short was born in LA. His first step into music was when he was appointed the drummer in the school marching band. He was living with his family in East Oakland, and ""the studio"" was his bedroom, where short and his old-school partner Freddy B AKA Fred Benz, started making rap music history by pioneering a totally unique way of marketing their music......how it worked was anyone who wanted to have their names glorified in a custom-made rap would approach the two young rappers with a ""special request"" ""We would take the order one day and then the next day we'd bring back the tape. It would be a thirty minute tape and you'd pay us $10. Me and $hort would get $5 a piece"" Freddy B told The Source in an interview in 1990... they were about 14 or 15 years old when they did this ""tape thing"". Celebrated as one of the pioneer rappers of West Coast hip hop, Too Short is one of the very few artists to have had the honor of collaborating with both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. during the height of their careers. Too Short is most popular today for his many hit songs, including ""The Ghetto"" and ""Blow the Whistle""..

The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.

By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Too Short, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price.
