Ty Hannah was born in the city of Sumter, South Carolina, where his love for music was rooted. Since 1993 he has been showcasing his passion for music in a variety of talent shows in Columbia, SC and its surrounding areas. Ty was the vital piece in forming a quartet in 1996 named “The Sons of Harmony”, and was collectively chosen by the group to be lead vocalist. They performed at many shows and competitions together thru the year 2000, when Ty Hannah chose to move to Minnesota to continue his education in the field of music. Shortly thereafter, he was rediscovered and joined a trio, which birthed his recording career with experienced musicians and producers such as James “Poppa” Guer, former guitarist of "The Time". Ty’s first tour experience was with R&B Badboyz, “V.I.P”, of Baby Honey Records, managed by B. Rich and Lance “L.A.” Alexander, co founder of” Lo Key?” of Minneapolis, MN. He accompanied showings with Soul Brothers "Ruff Endz", formerly of Epic/Sony in 2001. While obtaining his degree in ‘Radio Broadcast Communications & Journalism’ at Brown College in Mendota Heights, MN, he began Djing at the popular downtown Minneapolis club, “Club Tropix”, with Eric James in 2001. After establishing himself in the club scene as a DJ, Ty returned home and began working and developing himself as a solo artist, and while working at Sumter’s Kiss FM Radio Station, he started recording and tweaking his own sound. After moving to Orlando, Florida he began performing live shows each week under the name “TyLuv”. This led to recording with new producers and artists such as: Dirty Baker’s “Brova Brotha’s” Al "Shaft" Washington and Ike Burna, J Biz, Smilez and SouthStar and more. Ty added to his solo work efforts by winning a promotional bit with the Orlando based reality show, “Back to Reality”, where he performed weekly at Orlando’s nightclub, “The Blue Room”. Still pursuing his dream as a solo artist, Ty Hannah took on "American Idol’s" contestant ploy when the show came to Orlando, Fl, in 2005.
