Who is Childish Gambino?

Childish Gambino is the musical alter ego of actor, writer, and comedian Donald Glover. After releasing several mixtapes under the name, he signed to a major record label and released Camp in 2011, followed by Because the Internet in 2013 and Awaken, My Love! in 2016. Childish Gambino’s single “This Is America,” debuted on Saturday Night Live in 2018, focused on gun violence, white supremacy, and racism and won four Grammy Awards. Childish Gambino’s other albums include 3.15.20 (2020) and Bando Storm and the New World (2024). However, when the latter album was released, Glover announced that he planned on retiring the Childish Gambino persona soon, because he felt it was no longer fulfilling.
