T-Pain

Born and raised in Tallahassee, T-Pain was introduced to music and artistry at an early age. By the age of 10, after a family member introduced him to music production, T-Pain turned his bedroom into a music studio and began creating and producing his own work. He rose to fame as a solo artist and is most widely known for introducing auto-tune to the music industry being first to make it an essential element to his style and sound.

T-Pain continues to connect with his Tallahassee roots and is a proud supporter of the Tallahassee Soccer Club – the Battle Lions, by donating funds to cover travel expenses so the team could compete in their first-ever trip to the playoffs. He is also known for fueling up at Lindy’s Fried Chicken every time he is in Tallahassee.
