Early life Of Tory Lanez

Later, he settled down in Georgia where he started focusing on rap. There he met a man called Hakeem who actually suggested to him using the stage name, Tory Lanez.
However, the news of his father’s remarriage shattered Tory again. After losing his mother at a very young age, it was another setback for him. During this period, he moved to New York. But, nothing worked well for him and he was suffering from emotional trauma. Seeing his condition, he was sent back to his grandmother. But, his grandmother didn’t keep him for long and he was homeless at the age of 15. Tory Lanez parents were great support for him.
He was so helpless that he started living with three unknown people and stopped going to school. Now, he started taking music seriously and finding ways to collaborate with some artists.
At the age of 16, he began rapping at music concerts to earn bread and butter. He also wanted to make his name in music as he left his studies due to a financial crunch. He was not professionally trained in music, but blessed with good vocals and musical knowledge. After struggling for a while, he moved back to Florida and settled there. Tory Lanez’s family completely vanished right at an early age.
Tory’s Professional Career
After years of struggle, Tory finally recorded and unleashed his debut mixtape in 2009. He named his mixtape, T.L 2 T.O, and promoted it through YouTube. After garnering love for his mixtape on YouTube, he started shooting and directing his music videos to reach a wider audience.
Sean Kingston, who was an established rapper in Florida during that period of time, saw his raping skills and offered him a deal to steal. When they both met at Justin Bieber’s concert, Sean gave him the biggest chance to perform live in the show. And Tory didn’t leave a chance and performed so well that the audience enjoyed his skills and performance. This helped Tory to release new mixtapes and go ahead in their music career.
Eventually, in 2010, Tory unveiled four mixtapes and garnered a lot of love, fame, and popularity from all four corners. After the success of his mixtapes, Sean Kingston approached Tory for a deal with his own record label, Time is Money Entertainment.

The single was released in August 2014 followed by the mixtape in October. Surprisingly, the mixtape became a blockbuster hit. And, it’s the track, Luv, climbed several charts all over the world, including US Billboard Hot 100, etc.
In 2016, he announced yet another tour, The Level Up Tour that he performed at the Pemberton Music Festival. However, his newly earned success made him a bit arrogant. When a leading magazine XXL approached him to feature on the cover, he simply refused by saying that he is one of the hottest rappers in the industry.
After that, he never turned back. In 2016, he released his debut album named I Told You which climbed the fourth spot on the US Billboard Hot 200 chart.
