Born Tyrone William Griffin Jr. on April 13, 1982, in Los Angeles, Ty Dolla $ign is a multi-talented artist whose silky voice and slick production have made him a staple in hip-hop and R&B. Growing up in South Central, he soaked up LA’s music scene, learning from his father, a musician in the funk band Lakeside.

His debut album Free TC (2015), dedicated to his incarcerated brother, hit number 14 on the Billboard 200, with hits like “Blasé” featuring Future. Ty’s 2020 album Featuring Ty Dolla $ign lived up to its name, boasting collabs with Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, and Post Malone. With over 5 million Instagram followers and streams lighting up Spotify and Apple Music, Ty’s blend of smooth melodies and street grit has made him a go-to for hooks and a voice for LA’s soul.
