Te'von Walker (born November 12, 1995), formerly known as TeSmoove who is now known under the mononym Te'von is an American Singer-songwriter and audio artist.

2010-2011: Youtube Crisis
Te'von began posting rap videos on Youtube under the alias 'TeSmoove'. In 2011, after gaining attention for his freestyles over "Blame Game" by Kanye West and a re-engineered version of "Blood Pressurize" by Remote Tree Children, his entire youtube account was mysteriously deleted and on March 29, 2011, a new YouTube account appeared that re-uploaded some of the songs from Te'von's old channel, it was later confirmed to have been Te'von's new account.

Of the songs released within the 2011 year, only "Dijah's Interlude" would consist of all completely original material, being written and arranged in it's entirety by Te'von. It was included on Te'von's project "Where I'm Headed: No Reason to Doubt" as the second half of the track "Psychedelic Love", the first half being a cover of Erykah Badu's "Out My Mind, Just In Time" from the New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh) album.

2012: Where I'm Headed & Musical Transformation
In the summer of 2011, Te'von also began to work on a project with the working title "Where I'm Headed". He had recorded and completed the original set of songs, but later decided to scrap the entire project. Te'von began work on his debut project again in late 2011, declaring it would be released early 2012, however at this time the project had no title, tracklist nor a release date. Te'von stopped working on the project again, this time to focus on "performances, the scholastic tour and Lost Music sh*t." He began to work on the project for the last time in February of 2012. Finally choosing the title, "Where I'm Headed", he attached "No Reason to Doubt" in order to pay homage, Jay-Z's first album, Reasonable Doubt.
