Dr. Dre, born Andre Romelle Young on February 18, 1965, in Compton, California, grew up in a city that would later become synonymous with the rise of gangsta rap. His parents, Theodore and Verna Young, separated when he was young, leaving his mother to raise him. Dre was surrounded by music from an early age, with his mother often playing R&B records at home. Although his academic career was unremarkable, Dre's passion for music became evident during his teenage years. He began frequenting local clubs, where he was introduced to DJing, a skill that would become his gateway into the music industry.
