Quincy Delight Jones III (born 23 December 1968), better known as QDIII, QD3 and Snoopy, is a Swedish-American music producer and documentary film producer.
Jones was born in Wimbledon, London, the only son of American musician-music producer Quincy Jones Jr. and 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.
Careeredit
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]
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.
Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur is an American television documentary series about Tupac Shakur and his mother Afeni Shakur, directed by Allen Hughes. It premiered on FX on April 21, 2023.
