The Midwest MC entered the hip-hop game at the young age of 14 when he was discovered by Chicago Hip Hop legend, Twista, who offered him a spot on his tour after witnessing him rap during a contest that was being held between opening acts at one of his shows. But after a tragic car accident at age 16, Torrian was paralyzed for almost a year, which left him battling depression and unsure of where his life was headed. Once he recovered, he used this setback to fuel his hustle toward chasing his dreams in the entertainment industry and making a full comeback.

His debut single “Wings” was released in 2014 and featured the international Taylor Gang General, Wiz Khalifa. This opened up many doors and allowed him to garner international attention. In 2015 he headlined his first Positive Vibes tour throughout the midwest. Torrian routed, booked, and ran the entire tour by himself, selling out the hometown show entirely.

During this same time period, he suffered a tremendous amount of loss of loved ones close to him. With the passing of his grandfather to diabetes, his little brother to a fatal car accident, and his mother to an overdose, he has endured pain and loss that would cause most to shut down entirely. While battling depression, he chose to make major changes in his life. He chose to begin to share his story with his fans as a means to uplift and empower them.

In 2018 he went on to release his first project “Vibes Don’t Lie” - the lead single “Jungle” is now his most streamed song to date. Since then, he’s collaborated with a slew of notable artists including Do or Die, Saba, GLC, and Grammy nominated producers Da Internz. He has performed hundreds of shows across the country, from hitting the stage at SXSW, to Vitamin Water/Fader Magazine’s Uncapped Live Series, to opening for artists such as 2 Chainz, T-Pain, Chief Keef, Twista, Chance The Rapper, Lil Durk, Omarion, Trina, Common, and many more.

Now, with 250k+ thousand plus monthly listeners, multiple viral videos, and a diehard tribe of fans that proudly go by the “Vibe Tribe”, Torrian has only just begun to hit the milestones he’s after.
