Transcription

Family

Jones was born in Wimbledon, London, the only son of American musician-music producer Quincy Jones Jr. through his second wife, Swedish model Ulla Andersson.[1] He grew up in Sweden with his older sister Martina after their parents legally separated.[2] The two have five American half-sisters from their father's two other marriages and relationships in the United States, including actresses Kidada and Rashida Jones and fashion model Kenya Kinski-Jones.

Career

Jones is the founder of QD3 Entertainment, which has produced a series of documentaries known collectively as Beef. These explore the violence and feuds within hip hop culture.[3] Jones is also a hip hop DJ; he released an album called Soundlab (1991).

On 4 November 2009, Chamillionaire launched the Global Innovation Tournament 2009 with Jones at Stanford University as part of the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar Series.

In 2011, Jones co-founded the health and wellness lifestyle company Feel Rich, Inc. with partner Shawn Ullman, which aimed at promoting "health as the new wealth" to urban communities.[4] Along with QD3's father, Grammy winning producer Quincy Jones, they produced a documentary film, Feel Rich:Health is the New Wealth, that featured celebrities, hip hop icons, and medical and health professionals discussing wellness in the urban community.[5]

In January 2014, Jones founded WeMash, an Internet service that connects owners of content (movie studios, news organizations, sports entities, music labels/publishers) with creators from every field (video artists, filmmakers, musicians, and more) to reimagine content beyond its original context. Investors include venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.[6]

Jones was a jury member of Swedish Idol 2016.

Lil Wayne lawsuit

On November 6, 2012, Jones was awarded $2.2mn in a lawsuit against rapper Lil Wayne, over Jones' biopic "The Carter".[7] The pair sued each other over the film, with Wayne's original lawsuit — which was thrown out — claimed Jones' documentary was a "scandalous portrayal" of Wayne and his work.[8] Jones' eventually successful suit — in large part due to the judge's interpretation of Wayne's deposition tape — alleged Wayne's claims hurt the reputation and sales of the film.
