I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Thinker (t.kelly) was born into a musically gifted family. Both mother and father from a small town in the outskirts of Charleston South Carolina, both into singing. There are stories of his father being able to freestyle while riding in a car talking about things as they passed them. (back in the early 70's) when asked about his father's ability free style thinker jokes sometimes "the apple falls very far from the tree". Unfortunately on New Years Eve 1979 his father was shot and killed so thinker would never get the chance to consult with the person who possibly could have been his biggest influence. At an early age he started to sing in church with his three older brothers (the Kelly brothers) oldest brother Steve would make him practice even if he was tired and crying. That helped make his musical work ethic what it is today. Best friend Onree' Gill (currently music director for Alicia Keys) also help mold him musically. Many nights while attending middle school were spent sitting in on studio sessions until the sun came up. Fast forward to today, thinker will rarely admit to being an emcee but will openly place his lyrical content up there with the best of them. He is quite comfortable however staying in the background taking photos, producing, engineering and so on. In some of his work u can hear his strong background in jazz but by no means is he limited in his approach in music making, funk, soul and rock just to name a few of other genres that makes up thinker's production arsenal. A few of his influences includes stevie, Donny, miles, Coltrane, Jimi, common, Pete rock and c.l., the Wu, spike lee, prince, mike (when he was black) and quite a bit more. A note from thinker, There are many questionable reasons why people make an attempt at the music game, before I entertain, I want to share information with people that need or want it. I feel that my generation needs to step up and bridge the gap of the other generations.about the lable:
Tzo: Basement 2 Da Pavement is his brainchild but it is now owned by all those who take part. He is an artist, beatmaker, producer. L-Star: artist, head of promotions, beatmaker, producer. Thinker: artist, engineer, producer, beatmaker. These 3 men have equal ownership and responsibility in the handlings of B2daP Productions... -- Facebook Badge START -- Terrance Thinker Kelly's Profile
