Most recently, he unleashed his highly-anticipated PLAYBOY R&B capsule which quickly went to #1 on Apple Music’s R&B/Soul Music Charts. A perfectionist when it comes to his craft, the 28-year-old spends the majority of waking hours in the studio, creating from a place of love, passion, and vulnerability. Regardless of what’s happening in the world, Lanez treats music like his baby. Now, Lanez is putting on his entrepreneur hat and stepping into corporate status: notably separating from his major label, Interscope Records, after fulfilling his contract… but not without a bang! 2020’s The New Toronto 3 was his last tape with the major label, and Chixtape 5 from the year before was his last project signed under Benny Blanco’s Mad Love imprint-both of which left fans in a frenzy.Įxcited as ever to be stepping into the independent world, which means owning his own masters and publishing, Tory even rapped on “Letter to the City 2”, stating “the next move is going fully independent, and any label offer under a hundred mill’ is just offensive.” With hit singles such as “Say It” and “LUV,” the latter which was nominated for a Grammy in 2017 for Best R&B Song, Lanez seems to have figured out his own recipe for success: creating timeless, yet modern music that’s so catchy, you can’t help but want to listen over and over again.
To date, real name Daystar Peterson boasts over 18 million monthly Spotify listeners and over 1.7 billion Youtube views combined… and he doesn’t plan on letting his foot off the gas pedal in the slightest. Lanez swooned the hearts of music-lovers all around the globe, with an output mostly inspired by beautiful women and real-life experiences. Hailing from Toronto, the rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer exploded onto the scene over a decade ago with his undeniable talents and versatility: a smooth, sultry voice that not only blessed the R&B game, but the ability to spit bars that gave rappers a run for their money. Musician Tory Lanez is not stopping until he gets to the top.
