Biography: TEARDROP born Ashley Craig Maredi (1989-07-05) raised in Soweto, is a young South African artist who aspires to represent his country through the genre of Hip Hop and R&B. He spent part of his child hood in Cape Town and most of it in Gauteng. He has moved residents eight times within Gauteng. From Soweto, to Midrand, to Kempton Park and so on. He completed his matric in Norkem Park High School and is in progress with his I.T diploma. Throughout his Highschool he hosted many cultural activities and took part in various performing musical acts.

The only thing that separates TEARDROP and the rest of us is the booth. Behind that glass window and microphone lays a braided multi-talented monster and on stage he conquers. When journalists ask fellow musicians about working with TEARDROP most of them say the same thing: "play any beat regardles of genre and you'll hear something you've never heard before, TEARDROP is very competitive and never backs down." It's impossible for an A&R or any music executive to listen to TEARDROP and say that he/she is not impressed, then that just means that, thats not the song for you. At times TEARDROP's like a juke-box put in a coin and select your favourite song. He likes to dazzle listeners either on a song or freestyle by combining techniques, he would rap with a melodious tone and than sing with a mellow pitch, he ends the show with a fast pitch of lyrics his flow is tremendous, he's truely mastered the ability to deliver melodrama.
