Weldon Angelos is a former music producer who worked with legends like Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur’s recording group.

In 2004, Angelos became the national face of criminal justice reform after he was sentenced to 55 years prison for selling a $1000 worth of cannabis as a first-time offender. His cause was championed by Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) & Mike Lee (R-UT), celebrities like Alicia Keys, leading news organizations like the Washington Post, and even the Judge who sentenced him, which led to an early release in 2016 after serving 13 years of his 55-year sentence. In December 2020, Weldon was fully pardoned by the President.

Since his release, Angelos has become a leading activist working with a bipartisan coalition of celebrities, lawmakers, and the White House to make our criminal justice system fair for everyone.

Mr. Angelos is also a public speaker, author, and is currently co-producing a feature documentary about his story and the criminal justice system.
