Bio

Born Ty M. King on May 29th, in New York City, this fiery Rapper/Producer first dreamed of musical superstardom while he was still a young boy. "I heard Rakim and my entire life changed." Heavily influenced by the productions skills of people like Teddy Riley, Pete Rock and Dr. Dre, Ty practiced day and night on his keyboard and drum machine, honing his skill, creating the kind of tracks and rhymes that would one day launch his career. After leaving high-school early, Ty started producing local talent. He was able hook up with a management team that was able to take his material and land him a publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing. He then went on to do work for the likes of Beyonce, Lil' Flip, Pink, and 3LW, making a name for himself as a serious producer. Thru-out all the heart-aches (suffering the horrible murder of his sister) and set-backs, Ty never stopped pursuing his ultimate goal. Ty eventually took all of his pain and his views of, not just the music industry, but of life itself, and put them to his production. What emerged is a soulful, albeit, truthfully scathing commentary on the industry, hip hop in particular. "If Ty was a wrestler, he'd be 'Stone Cold Steve Austin', says a friend. "He'll always tell u the truth, do what he wants, open a can whoop-ass on his boss and make u love him along the way!" Ty's soulful, yet blazing beats, along with his passion-filled dialogue is something the music business is sorely missing. "You hear this about so many artists but, He (Ty Real) really is a breath of fresh air", says one industry insider. "The industry-at-large may try to hate on for the things he's saying, but the fans are gonna love him, and in turn, the industry will love him." According to Ty Real: "I'm not trying to be anybody but Ty Real...an' believe me, that ain't easy." That's Real Talk y'all!!
