Little Fahim is very impressed with the music studio, in which he falls at the age of 3. According to T-Pain, his parents recognize his talent and help in this hobby.
Already at the age of 10, Najm acquired an impromptu recording studio located in his bedroom. Father accidentally finds a musical keyboard on the side of the road: dirty, but in working condition. Then a rhythm machine and an 8-track Fostex recorder are purchased. First, the boy learned to play the keys, picking up hearing songs heard on the radio. And with the advent of the tape recorder, I was able to record the first tracks.
T-Pain chose the stage name based on his feelings. The first letter means Tallahassee, and the word “pain” refers to the growing up of a musician who understands that here, in his hometown, there is no possibility for him to grow creatively. It seems to him that he sounds the same with other local artists. This state of affairs does not suit him. It was at this discord that pain arose.
In 2004, he became a member of the band Nappy Headz, which also included Nook D’ville, Notty Black, Doe Boy and OD. They perform in small and medium clubs, dreaming, like other bands, about fame. They were preparing to release their debut album, but Pain had other plans.

In 2005, Payne recorded the first independent single, I’m Sprung, which became a breakthrough and entered the top ten songs of the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R & B / Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second song I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper) reinforces the success of the debutant.

In mid-2006, T-Pain began work on the second Epiphany album, which was released in June 2007. He is also successful and takes 1st place on the Billboard 200. After 2 years, the next T-Pain Thr33 Ringz album is released, which turns gold in the number of copies sold.
In 2011, the artist’s discography is replenished with another studio collection RevolveR. According to the musician, the use of Auto-Tune allowed him to create a new musical genre that changed the direction and sound of modern music. He was considered innovative. But after a while from the new-fangled sound, Auto-Tune became commonplace in pop music.
