In her youth, you would have never guessed Tedra "TT the Artist" Wilson would have turned out to be the energetic rapper she is today. She grew up in a household dedicated to the church, that meant rap music was out of the equation entirely and was instead replaced by prayer, gospel music, and at best Disney songs. Wilson was under constant supervision but she lived for the days she could be alone and on those days is when she'd turn on the radio and listen to her favorite type of music, rap. She recalls "...tape-recording one of Foxy Brown's songs..." in her youth, something that would have been unacceptable if her mom or dad had heard. Her entire family dynamic changed when her parents divorced; the household wasn't so centered around the church so she was able to be exposed to more. In a Baltimore sun article by Wesley Case, he quotes Wilson's mom Jennifer King when she says "Life got better after that, because I allowed my kids to get more involved," King said. "She had opportunities after that she didn't have before." Wilson started to become who she is today way back in highschool; she was in a band, took dance, and overall became the creative muse we know today as TT the Artist.
