Nelly’s Early Life and Music Career

Cornell Iral Haynes Jr, known professionally as Nelly, was born on November 2, 1974, in Austin, Texas. His parents divorced when he was seven, and he moved to St. Louis, Missouri. As a teenager, he formed his first band, the St. Lunatics, with friends Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and Slo’Down and his half brother City Spud. The group had local success in 1997 with the single “Gimme What Ya Got.”

However, after the St. Lunatics failed to score a record deal, Nelly decided to launch his solo career.
