Editor's note

T-Pain, the Auto-Tune pioneer from Tallahassee

He turned a vocal effect into a signature sound that reshaped hip-hop and R&B.

For a quick sense of his sound, 'Buy u a Drank' and 'I Like Dat' frame it well.

T-Pain made Auto-Tune a central part of his music when others were skeptical. Songs like 'Buy u a Drank (Shawty Snappin')' and 'Got Money' with Lil Wayne defined that era. The style he pushed ended up influencing a lot of what came after him in hip-hop and R&B.

His 2005 debut 'Rappa Ternt Sanga' introduced his approach, followed by albums like 'Epiphany' in 2007 and 'Thr33 Ringz' the next year. More recent tracks include 'I Like Dat' featuring Kehlani. On tour, he performs with a band that includes DJ Nappy Boy and keyboardist Teddy Riley.

Archive material and source history

T-Pain, born Faheem Rasheed Najm, grew up in Tallahassee, Florida before moving to Atlanta. He became known for his heavy use of Auto-Tune on songs like 'Buy u a Drank (Shawty Snappin')' and 'Got Money' with Lil Wayne. That sound drew criticism from some corners early on, but it also became his signature.

His 2005 debut 'Rappa Ternt Sanga' introduced his approach, followed by albums like 'Epiphany' in 2007 and 'Thr33 Ringz' the next year. He worked with producers and artists including Kanye West, Lil Jon, and Akon. More recent tracks include 'I Like Dat' featuring Kehlani.

On tour, he performs with a band that includes DJ Nappy Boy, keyboardist Teddy Riley, and drummer Leon Youngblood. The Auto-Tune style he helped popularize ended up influencing a lot of hip-hop and R&B that came after him.
