Tin Tenn is a Memphis-based artist who is ready to share his remarkable story of perseverance in the form of music. The 24 year-old lived a rough life for the entirety of his formative years, leading him to find music as his only lifeline when he hit rock bottom. His infectious style of hook-laden hip-hop is the perfect channel for his woes. His new single, “Lucid Dreams” shows off his homegrown style, highly influenced by the intrinsic soul and vibe of Memphis, and offers a perfect introduction to the journey of Tin Tenn.
In the midst of his addiction, at the age of 15, Tin Tenn fell in love with music. It was then, that he wrote his first song and discovered hip-hop was his true calling. But there was a problem. The only way he was going to make music his life was if he could eradicate his demons and leave behind the drug culture that raised him. Finally, after a decade of struggling with drug addiction, imprisonment and family duress, Tin Tenn chose to get help. Lucky for him, his family, and his adoring fans, Tin Tenn has been clean since August 8th, 2016.
His new single, “Lucid Dreams” off the Midnight Madness EP has already accumulated over thirty-seven thousand streams on SoundCloud, and the official music video is the perfect next step to put this song at the forefront of the genre. The song touches upon Tin Tenn’s story of addiction and the desire to break free into the world of music, but from the perspective of a female protagonist. Perfectly depicted in the video, the main character is found alone in a cheap motel room with scattered pills on the dresser behind her. The overarching theme of the song is that although she seems too broken and profoundly fragile to pick up the pieces, all she truly wants is to be loved. With love, her reality can turn around and her soul can flourish. Tin Tenn speaks to us from the bottom of his healing soul and from his own life experiences in a way that makes him impossible not to root for.
