Biography

Common — born Lonnie Corant Jaxon Rashid Lynn Jr. — is an EGOT-achieving artist: one of the few entertainers to hold an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. His Academy Award for Best Original Song for 'Glory' from Selma — shared with John Legend — recognized a song of stunning emotional power. In film, his performances in Selma, John Wick: Chapter 2, and Hell on Wheels have demonstrated a natural authority and physicality that translates powerfully to the screen.
