Tory Lanez, born Daystar Peterson on July 27, 1992, in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, is a multifaceted artist with talents ranging from rapping and singing to songwriting and record producing. Lanez's music career began to gain traction after he released his mixtape series 'Chixtape' and 'Lost Cause,' leading up to his first studio album, "I Told You" in 2016. The album spawned hits such as "Say It" and "Luv," confirming his versatility and knack for blending R&B and hip-hop with a smooth, melodic flow. His stage name is derived from his childhood moniker 'Lanez' given to him by a friend due to his thrill for running in the streets, and 'Tory' from the notorious rapper Notorious B.I.G.

Over the years, Tory Lanez has cultivated a dynamic reputation for his experimental approach to music, often shifting between genres and refusing to be boxed into one particular sound. Releases like "Alone at Prom (Deluxe)" demonstrate his capacity to invoke nostalgia with an 80s inspired vibe, while other tracks like "Pull Up" and "Shooters" showcase his more intense and traditional hip-hop style. Despite legal controversies and feuds within the music industry, Lanez's discography continues to grow and evolve. His recent string of singles such as "Hurts Me," "Just Like You (Remix)," and "Earned" portray his ongoing commitment to creating music that resonates with a diverse fanbase. With albums like "Sorry 4 What" adding to his prolific output, Tory Lanez remains a resilient and prominent figure in the contemporary music scene.
