The high-energy 20-year-old rapper, songwriter and producer is fast consolidating himself in the international music scene.
Tallahassee Pain - born Faheem Najm in Tallahassee, Florida, in 1985 - began writing and producing his own music at the age of 10, and in the early 2000s he had success with songs such as Robbery and F.L.A. while a member of the rap group Nappy Headz.
After going solo he was recognised by Akon, who signed him up to a Konvict Muzik/Jive Records deal.
In December 2005, T-Pain's first album title, Rappa Ternt Sanga, was released.
