Tanna Leone

Avante Ramone Brown was born on March 24, 1998, in Los Angeles. His mother is a spoken word artist, and has stated that he "might share some relatives" with fellow rapper Baby Keem.[4] Brown moved around a lot growing up and experienced many different environments, which he believes has made him very adaptive and socially well-rounded.[4]

Following in his mother's footsteps, Brown made his first song at age 11. He would continue to write songs for fun, and often performed them for friends at school. He would later join a poetry club that held cyphers, where he was able to refine his lyrical skills. His first performance in front of a crowd surprisingly felt "extremely natural," which opened him up to the idea of pursuing a professional career as an artist.[4]

He lists 2Pac and DMX as his biggest influences. In his top five artists, he has himself, Kendrick, Frank Ocean, André 3000 and Missy Elliott.[4] Describing his sound, Tanna says it has the strength of a rap song and the melody of an R&B or rock song. "It's not following any type of rule book or guideline. It's just something you could feel."[4]
