Since bursting on the scene in 2005, T-Pain has produced and written a plethora of chart-topping and platinum-selling singles, garnered Songwriter of the Year and Producer of the Year honors at the BMI Urban Awards and earned a BET Award. T-Pain’s use of the vocoder made his music stand out, and his prolific, high-quality output turned him into one of music’s most oft-imitated and in-demand producers, singers and collaborators. His first two albums, 2006’s Rappa Ternt Sanga and 2007’s Epiphany, have been certified gold. He has also collaborated with Kanye West (Good Life), Chris Brown (“Kiss Kiss”) Flo Rida (Low) Plies (Shawty) and Bow Wow (“Outta My System”) for platinum singles. His self-produced third album, THR33 RINGZ, stands as a sonic odyssey brimming with innovation.
McCartney recently released In Technicolor, a retro-inspired album in a bid to cement his transformation from teen idol to legitimate adult star. During the self-imposed hiatus, he took on acting projects, including a role on Lifetime’s Army Wives and The Walking Dead.
