T-Pain

Faheem Najm (born June 30, 1985 in Tallahassee, Florida) known by his stage name T-Pain, is an American hip hop, R&B Singer Songwriter and producer.

Faheem was born in Tallahassee to entrepreneur Muslim parents, Shasheem Najm and Aliyah Najm. He has two brothers, Hasheem and Hakim, and two sisters, A'pril and KeKe. In his thank you section of the CD cover for Epiphany, he thanks his wife, Amber, daughter, Lyriq, and son, Muziq.

At the age of ten, Faheem reworked his bedroom into a small studio with a keyboard, beat machine and four track recorder, and began composing music. Faheem later graduated from James S. Rickards High School.

Prior to becoming a solo singer, Faheem was part of the Tallahassee rap group Nappy Headz. They had mild success with local hits such as "Cotti" and "FLA BOYZ". This allowed T-Pain to jumpstart his career as a solo artist. In 2002, he founded his own label, Hard & B. and soon caught the spotlight as a solo artist when his song "Fucked Up", a reworked version of Akon's "Locked Up", gained popularity in the region. Akon noticed the song and signed T-Pain to his newly formed Konvict Music record label.

He has released his second album Epiphany on the 5th of June, 2007, that features "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" and his new hit-single "Bartender" featuring Akon. This album has shipped platinum. Guest appearances include Yung Joc, Akon, Shawnna, Cham, Kardinal Offishall, & Jay Lyriq. During that time, he has appeared on the remix of R. Kelly's "I'm a Flirt", with T.I., Bow Wow's "Outta My System", Fabolous's "Baby Don't Go", Plies's "Shawty", Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss", & Kanye West's "Good Life". His new single is "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" featuring Yung Joc, which he produced for his upcoming album Church. The video for "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" was released April 9, and the song went to #1. It contains cameos by Jay-Z, Huey, Shawnna, and E-40. He has released a song for MySpace lovers, called "What's Your Myspace" featuring Tay Dizm. He released a song with Florida Artist J-Shin, called "Send Me An E-Mail". The video for the song was co-directed by T-Pain and fellow Floridian filmmaker JOKES and co-starred "MySpace Queen" Tila Tequila.
