Prince TY

The Biography of Prince TY Tyrone Franklin Badu better known by his stage name Prince TY, is a singer, songwriter and musician. Born in Ghana and raised in England. Born on the 15th of June 1995. A little boy, only 4 years old, from Ghana, arrived into England. He never imagined music would choose him. Tyrone was always an entertainer. From the minute he could walk, the spotlight was on him. Music was instilled in the young star from a very early age. Growing up in church he was the main drummer, playing the drums came naturally to him, just as entertaining did. The rhythm, the beat, he was in his own zone. The young man sang in church, sang with family and friends and even though he enjoyed it, he remained unaware of his God given talent and potential. Prince TY has always been surrounded by people in the industry, many of his friends and family, such as JB Scofield are artists and musicians. Still, it never crossed his mind that he himself, was destined to be an artist. In fact his very first single was created by ‘accident’. 1am in the studio with his cousin, his natural ear for music became apparent. He heard an instrumental and adventitiously jumped on the mic and started singing. That very same song ‘B.A.D’ then went on to receive over 200,000 streams on spotify and over 40,000 views on youtube. That was the birth of Prince TY. Only a few months after the release of B.A.D, the new virtuoso opened up for the international, multi award winning artist Davido. Just months after discovering his natural talent Prince TY performed in front of thousands. He has shared the stage with the likes of SK, Sona, Big Tobz and B young. A great accomplishment for a brand new artist. The artist released a second collaboration in late 2018 with JB schofielf where we see the smooth alchemies that Prince TY showcases in an effortlessly natural way.
