T-Pain
He might not really be in love with a stripper, but
T-Pain
sure can sing. A self-professed rapper turned singer, T-Pain began mixing beats and rapping at the age of ten, in a small studio he pieced together in his bedroom. After graduating high school, T-Pain gained underground exposure as a member of influential Tallahassee rap group
Nappy Headz
. Though a regionally acclaimed rapper, T-Pain was also a skilled singer, and decided to differentiate himself from the pack by blending contemporary hip-hop style with R&B flavor. He formed his own record label,
Hard & B
, and began mixing tunes. Rapper/singer
Akon
liked his style, and signed him onto his
Konvict Music
record label in 2005.
By the end of the year, T-Pain released his first album,
Rappa Ternt Sanga
. Fueled by distinctive synth-beats, cameos by Akon and
Mike Jones
, and T-Pain’s fly singing, the album went on to sell over 800,000 copies. T-Pain’s distorted singing is achieved using the auto-tone effect, a digital pitch correction method that can make vocals pulsate to the pitch of the song - perfect for playful party tunes like
I'm In Luv (Wit A Stripper)
and
I'm Sprung
, though T-Pain also showcases his musical diversity on Rappa Terna Sanga with the occasional tearjerker track like
I'm So High
, a song about the destructive nature of street drugs.
As T-Pain’s tuneful style of singing gained fans in the music industry he became a popular background singer, with his wavering choruses forming the foundation for several hit songs, including
DJ Khaled
's ghetto anthem
I'm So Hood
, a remixed version of R. Kelly's sensual song
I'm a Flirt
, and
Kanye West
's Grammy winning collaboration
Good Life
. Riding on this success, T-Pain’s second album, 2007’s
Epiphany
, went gold in three months and continues to sell. Picking up where Rappa Ternt Sanga left off, T-Pain’s sophomore effort is just as catchy but far more creative, relying not just on his auto-tone crooning (
Bartender
) but also dabbling in fast-paced latin-infused dance (
Church
) and tongue-in-cheek humor (
Buy U a Drank
.) Ever mindful of his modest beginnings as a fledgling artist, T-Pain has helped launch the careers of fellow Florida artists
Plies
and
Flo Rida
by appearing on their hit singles
Shawty
and
Low
, respectively.
