Andre Romelle Young primarily known by his stage name Dr. Dre, is an American record producer, rapper, record executive, and actor. He is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and a former co-owner and artist of Death Row Records, also having produced albums for and overseeing the careers of many rappers signed to those record labels such as Snoop Dogg and Eminem. As a producer he is credited as a key figure in the popularization of West Coast G-funk, a style of rap music characterized as synthesizer-based with slow, heavy beats.

Born February 18, 1965, his primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Wood Snake. The Snake's many interests and insatiable thirst for knowledge result in an increasingly complex persona. With their wisdom and charisma, which has an almost magical quality, they probably command our respect more than any other sign. Although the Snake is often a loner, the Wood Snake has a humanitarian streak and seeks out ways to make the Earth a better place. He is more family oriented than other Snakes and actively contributes to a quality home environment. With his creativity and appreciation of beauty and style he probably enjoys expressing himself in unusual ways in the arts and is capable of presenting himself in a most attractive package.
