Bio
People call his sound seductive and fresh. Even though his sound is new to the scene, Smokee Whine started as a hip hop artist. He started as a rapper and author named Trete Lo. He doesn’t eat meat and some would say he’s very eccentric with the way he lives. He considers all of his songs to be inventions and strives to set himself apart from every sound you’ve heard with his head and tails style.
Smokee Whine was influenced by the artists that his parents listened to. His dad was influenced by the 50’s and 60’s where as his mom was heavily influenced by the soul artists of the 70’s. He would hear artists like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding from his dad while he traveled to California with his mom and was enthralled in the music of The Gap Band, The Whispers, and other artists like George Clinton. Naturally he would gravitate to hip hop and all the artists of the 80’s 90’s and 2000’s.
A pivotal moment in music came when Smokee took a small keyboard made a beat and wrote a song and rapped in a local talent show in Monroe, Louisiana where rapper Heavy D made a surprise appearance and announced him as the winner. Heavy D had strong words, telling him to keep doing what he was doing and never give up. Stay in school. He was amazed at his ability to write and produce music at such a young age. He was only about 11 years old and he has been writing and producing music every since.
