About the Artist

Hollywood Hendon

Soul & R&B | Stepper Anthems

Rickey "Hollywood" Hendon is a Chicago original who has lived more than one life in the spotlight. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, the West Side larger than life personality made his name long before the sequins and the stage lights as a former Illinois State Senator, an actor on screen, and the author of two books. The same showmanship that earned him the name Hollywood is exactly what he pours into the music today.

His sound is grown and unapologetically soulful, rooted in classic R&B, funk, and that timeless Chicago stepper groove. Warm, charismatic, and built for the dance floor, recent singles like "I Like Steppin' With You" and "Money In The Bank" carry a feel good swing that pulls every generation onto the floor and keeps them there.
