RZA, while best known as the founder, producer, and mastermind behind the Wu-Tang Clan, has built an incredibly diverse and successful career as a musician, a composer of film scores, a producer, an actor, a businessman, a player and advocate of chess, and as the author of "The Wu-Tang Manual" and the New York Times Best Seller, "The Tao of Wu."

Born Robert F. Diggs in Brownsville, Brooklyn, RZA first surfaced on the hip-hop scene during the early '90s. After brief stints as a member of the group All In Together Now and as a solo artist under the name Prince Rakeem, he formed the Wu-Tang Clan in 1992. Based in Staten Island the band went on to become one of the most successful and influential hip-hop groups of all time.

Their debut LP, 1993's "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," driven by RZA's unique, groundbreaking beats and signature gritty production style, has become a definitive hip-hop classic and is revered as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever.

He has released several solo albums, under his own name and the name of his hedonistic alter ego Bobby Digital, including RZA as "Bobby Digital in Stereo," "Digital Bullet," "Birth of a Prince," and, most recently, "Digi Snax." Overall, RZA has sold over 44 million records. An avid chess player, the RZA created WuChess.com, the world's first online hip-hop chess community, where chess players and hip-hop fans can learn from chess masters, compete for scholarships, and square off against the RZA and other hip-hop celebrities.

RZA is making his directorial debut directing "The Man with the Iron Fists," which he co-wrote with Eli Roth and in which he will star as The Blacksmith. Eli Roth, Eric Newman and Marc Abraham of Strike Entertainment will produce.

RZA can be seen in Miguel Sapochnik's "Repo Men" starring Forrest Whitaker and Jude Law; and Todd Phillip's "Due Date" starring Robert Downey, Jr. As an actor, some of RZA's credits include work with Judd Apatow in "Funny People," Ridley Scott in "American Gangster," Buddy Giovinazzo's "Life Is Hot in Crack Town" and Mikael Håfström in "Derailed."

RZA is a Grammy award-winning, music producer, BAFTA nominated film composer, recording artist and actor. RZA is one of the most prominent figures in hip hop music and the creator/producer of the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA has an extremely distinguished body of work in music scoring for filmmakers such as Ridley Scott, Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino. RZA recently scored the Emmy-nominated American adaptation of the Japanese anime "Afro Samurai" executive produced and starring Samuel L. Jackson.

"Member of the Wu-Tang Clan RZA thinks veganism leads to a “better tomorrow.” The American rapper was partly motivated by ethics to ditch animal products. He told PETA in 2014 that there’s nothing “on this planet that doesn’t want to live.” “I’m quite sure do not wanna be on my plate… When you eat you’re eating that stress, eating that sickness, eating that fear,” he said, also adding, “I don’t need a dead animal or dead piece of flesh to go into my live body.” In"
