TL on the Beat is an up and coming producer from Decatur, GA who is destined to make a major splash in the music industry. Influenced by producers such as Timberland, Kanye West, and Lex Luger his instrumentals or “beats” are know for their slamming 808s and funkadelic melodies. Related to the legendary Duke Ellington he recalls wanting to do music as early as kindergarten.
Although he is know as a producer now, his musical roots began in middle school as a rapper in the group Gwap Team. Unfortunately, the group did not have much success and eventually dismembered leaving TL discouraged to get back behind the mic. Despite this minor setback he had already got a taste of the studio and did not stop doing music completely. Over the next two years he began hanging around a local gang “black mob” because they had a studio set up. This is when he was introduced to Fruity Loops. From that moment on he spent every weekend in the public library downloading the program and perfecting his craft.
Eventually his talent and associations began to pay off. One thing led to the next and before the age of 20 he had productions with top tier Atlanta artist including: Bankroll Fresh, Young Scooter, Lil Chuckee from Young Money, 2-17, and most recently Impxct, Riff 3x, and Rae Sremmurd. It seems that TL on the Beat is on a trajectory to become a household name for hip hop artist similar to MikeWillMadeIt and Zaytoven.
