Early Life of Donald Glover

Trump McKinley Glover Jr. was born on September 25, 1983, at Edwards Air Force Base in California, where his father was stationed. He was reared in Atlanta. Beverly (nee Smith) Glover, his mother, is a retired daycare provider, and Donald Glover Sr. worked as a mail carrier. His parents took in foster children for a total of 14 years. Although Glover was brought up in the Jehovah’s Witness faith, he no longer practices his former faith. Stephen, his younger brother, went on to become a coworker and collaborator with him as a writer and producer. Brianne is the name of his sister.

After graduating from Avondale High School, Glover continued his education at DeKalb School of the Arts. His senior class voted him “Most Likely to Write for The Simpsons.” He earned his BFA in Dramatic Writing from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2006. While a student at Tisch, he self-produced the independent mixtape The Younger I Get, which he has since disavowed as the “too-raw musings” of a “decrepit Drake” and has yet to release. Beginning his career as a DJ and electronic music producer, he reworked the album Illinois by Sufjan Stevens under the alias MC DJ (later shortened to mcDJ) (2005).

Donald Glover’s Career

Acting & Writing

Producer David Miner noticed Glover in 2006 after reading some of his writing samples, which included a spec story for “The Simpsons.” They were so taken with his work that Miner and Tina Fey engaged him as a writer for their NBC comedy series 30 Rock. From 2006 through 2009, he was a writer on “30 Rock,” and he occasionally appeared in episodes. The writers of “30 Rock” won the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy Series in 2008.

Glover earned the role of ex-high school jock Troy Barnes on the NBC comedy “Community” after he tried out for the part of President Obama on “Saturday Night Live” but was rejected. He was a mainstay of the show for the first four seasons, then made a limited contribution to the fifth by guest-starring in five episodes. Atlanta was the subject of Glover’s 2013 contract with FX, which he signed to develop a television series. Glover not only plays a starring role in the show, but also acts as a writer, director, and executive producer. In March 2015, the series debuted to widespread acclaim from critics. It was nominated for four Primetime Emmys and two Golden Globes. The fact that Donald Glover was the first African-American to win an Emmy for Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series is very noteworthy. After the success of its second season in 2018, “Atlanta” was renewed for a third and fourth season, both of which will premiere in 2021. Glover had a busy 2015, appearing in three movies: “The Lazarus Effect,” “Magic Mike XXL,” and “The Martian.” In the 2018 film “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” Glover played a younger version of Lando Calrissian. In the same year, he pitched an idea for a project to New Regency on which he would like to work. They took his pitch without even seeing a script and Amazon Studios has committed to releasing the film. The project’s end outcome was the 2019 film “Guava Island,” which was written by Stephen Glover, featured Glover, and was directed by Hiro Murai, a frequent collaborator. He also voiced adult Simba in 2019 animated “The Lion King” remake.

Music Career

In June 2008, while working as a writer on “30 Rock,” Glover released the independent mixtape “Sick Boi” under the moniker Childish Gambino. His subsequent mixtapes include 2009’s “Poindexter,” 2010’s “I Am Just a Rapper” “I Am Just A Rapper 2,” and 2011’s “Culdesac.” In March of 2011, he published his debut EP for free digital download. A nationwide IAMDONALD tour with rap, comedy and video performances began in April of that year. To help him out with the production of his debut album, Glover reached out to “Community” score composer Ludwig Göransson. Glover inked a deal with Glassnote Records before the album’s drop. While this was happening, he also embarked on The Sign-Up Tour. When it was released in November of 2011, his debut studio album, titled “Camp,” went straight to No. 11 on the Billboard 200. The album’s first two songs, “Bonfire” and “Heartbeat,” both reached the top fifty on their respective charts: the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

After its release in December 2013, “Because the Internet,” Glover’s second studio album opened at position No. 7 on the Billboard 200. Glover published a 72-page screenplay and a short movie he wrote and appeared in, “Clapping for the Wrong Reasons,” directed by Hiro Murai, to promote the album. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, both “Because the Internet” and the tune “3005” were nominated for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance, respectively. Glovers’ third studio album, titled “Awaken, My Love!,” was released in December 2016. The album gained acclaim from the press and was nominated for two Grammys in 2018. One of the album’s tracks, “Redbone,” was nominated for many Grammys and won the award for Best Traditional R&B Performance.

A single titled “This Is America” was released by Glover in May of 2018 after he had signed with RCA Records in January of that year. The video, filmed by Hiro Murai, was highly divisive due to the song’s contentious lyrics about issues including gun violence and racial tensions in the United States. The song took home four Grammys at the 2019 ceremony: Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Record of the Year. In March 2020, Glover released his fourth studio album, simply titled “3.15.20.”

Personal Life of Donald Glover

It was in 2015 that Glover and White started dating. In early 2016, early 2018, and 2020, they welcomed three kids. Unless it’s for promotional purposes, Glover avoids the public eye and doesn’t post on social media or give interviews. He told The New Yorker that social media had made him feel “less human,” and that he now only uses the internet to engage in anonymous conversations with people who get him.

At the last concert of his, This Is America tour on December 17, 2018, Glover broke the news that his father had passed away. “I wanted to play him some of the new songs but he didn’t want to hear them because he was like, ‘I know they’re going to be fantastic,'” he recalled. “I lost my father a couple of weeks ago.”
