Ricky Lamar Hawk was born on January 22, 1998 in Conyers, Georgia. At the age of seventeen, he achieved sudden notoriety when two and a half million Americans watched the video for his song "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" on the YouTube channel of the apprentice rapper now known as Silentó. This dazzling success translates into a third position for his song on the Billboard charts in early 2015. Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Germany and France all succumbed to his immaculately fresh pop rap. Silentó is nominated for a Kids Choice Award for this song.
