The story begins at 13 years old. Tin Tenn was just a kid in Memphis, Tennessee with wide eyes and simple thoughts. One day, his doctor prescribed him pain medication, totally unaware of the damage that script would cause. After that, his curiosity led him to take any drug he could get his hands on. This vicious cycle brought him homelessness and incarceration as a teenager. He would leave his parents guessing about him for days at a time, and was on a path set for self-destruction.
In the midst of his addiction, at the age of 15, Tin Tenn fell in love with music. It was then that he wrote his first song and discovered hip-hop was his true calling. But there was a problem. The only way he was going to make music his life was if he could eradicate his demons and leave behind the drug culture that raised him. Finally, after a decade of struggling with drug addiction, imprisonment and family duress, Tin Tenn chose to get help. Lucky for him, his family, and his adoring fans, Tin Tenn has been clean since August 8th, 2016.
