Quincy Delight Jones III (born December 23, 1968) (aka QD3 aka Snoopy) is a Swedish-American composer, music producer, film producer and author. Jones is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Swedish hip hop scene. He took the pseudonym Snoopy and with Karl Dyall had a 1986 hit with the rap song "Next Time". The song was taken from the soundtrack of the cult movie Stockholmsnatt in which Jones played a leading role. By 16, he had earned his first gold record. At 17, Jones decided to move to the United States. He briefly attended his father's alma mater, the Berklee College of Music, where he met Roland Garrett. The school did not offer what Jones was looking for musically, and he dropped out. He moved to The Bronx, where he lived with his friend T La Rock. Jones practiced and perfected his craft at Power Play Studios with future hip-hop legends Rakim and KRS-One. Within seven years, he had established himself as a respected producer and changed his pseudonym to QD3. He created tracks for many artists, including LL Cool J, Too Short, Ice Cube, Mack 10, Westside Connection, K-Dee, Lench Mob,Tech N9ne and Tupac Shakur. He has also scored films and television shows, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Menace II Society. Jones has produced hip-hop documentary films , including Thug Angel, The Freshest Kids, Beef, Beef II, Beef III, and Beef IV.
