Biography
[edit]Truth first came on the scene at the age of 13-14 by sculpting underground urban markets and artists alike. From hosting college radio shows, to setting up local pirate radio stations with freestyles and fights, The Truth slowly built a reputation that saw them take to the stage with artists such as Donaeo and Lady Sovereign.
After moving away from the radio stations and rave scene, The Truth became part of a four-man MC group. From recording in a computer room to lacing his vocals in a fully equipped studio in the heart of London, The Truth became a solo artist alongside the producer of the group Bobby Wonda. After taking a break from music to earn a certified law degree, The Truth returned to the scene with new creative freedom. The music had now become formulated yet liberated; it was now commercialized yet bespoke.[citation needed]
From The Truth's debut single "Kya Karoon" (2010) to his follow-up "Sharabi" (2010), The Truth performed at Wembley Stadium for the Asian Achievers Awards (2010), BBC Maida Vale Studios (2011), and Glastonbury festival (2011). His latest[when?] single, "I Make 'Em Say" (2011) has been played multiple times on BBC Radio 1.[citation needed]
He has featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Asian Network, Wembley Stadium, BBC Maida Vale, and Glastonbury festival 2011. On 1 October 2011, The Truth won Best Urban Act at the Brit Asia Awards 2011, making this his first award win from his first nomination.[1]
