Early life

Jo Dong-rim was born just outside of Chicago in Evanston, Illinois, on March 25, 1985. He and his parents moved back to South Korea when he was around one year old. His family sent him back to the U.S. to study when he was 14. Growing up, he was heavily influenced by Rapper 2Pac. He was pursuing a degree in sociology in the U.S. but later left his studies to continue to pursue music.[1]

Career

2008–2012: Debut and early career

Mad Clown debuted in 2008 and released his first EP in 2011.[3][4]

2013–2018: Starship Entertainment, collaborations, and television judge

He has worked on several collaborations, including Stupid in Love with South Korean singer Soyou from the South Korean group Sistar, released on September 10, 2013.[5]

On March 28, 2014, Starship Entertainment announced on their Twitter account that Sistar's Hyolyn would feature in Mad Clown's comeback track, "Without You".[10][unreliable source] The music video for "Without You" was released on April 3, 2014.

On December 12, 2014, Mad Clown featured on "Anxious" by Melody Day.[11][unreliable source] In December, he also began working as a mentor on No.Mercy, a survival show of trainees from Starship Entertainment which led to the formation of Monsta X.[12] In 2015, he featured on Jooheon of Monsta X's first mixtape, SUPEXX.[13][14]

Mad Clown released his third extended play Piece of Mine in January 2015.[15]

In 2016, he was a judge and producer for the fifth season of Show Me the Money.[16][17]

In 2018, Mad Clown did not renew his contract with Starship.[18] That year, he also participated in the seventh season of "Show Me The Money" under the alias of "MOMMY SON", donning a pink ski mask to cover his appearance. After being eliminated from the show, he released the song, "Shonen Jump (ft. Bae Gisung)" in mock retaliation against those who eliminated him. He also performed the song during the filming of the final episode of the show.

2019–present: New label, more collaborations, further releases

In January 2019, Mad Clown collaborated with Stella Jang, releasing the single "No Question".[19]

In September 2020, Mad Clown announced his first EP following his departure from Starship. The album, titled 0, will be released on October 6 through Sameside Company and has four ballads.[20]

Personal life

Mad Clown's younger brother is film and television actor Jo Hyeon-cheol.[21]

Mad Clown married his non-celebrity wife on May 15, 2016, after a year of dating.[22] He has a child, a son.[citation needed]

On September 22, 2022, Mad Clown revealed that he divorced his non-celebrity wife the year prior after 5 years of marriage.[23]
