SPSN Listen Live Spotlights TARE-el

Born February 14, in Inglewood CA, TARE-el experienced the many trials of struggling family matters. His 
move to Dublin, GA at a young age provided a more southern way of living and slower paced 
environment. TARE-el’s early childhood years were difficult and at the age of 8, a separation from his 
sisters would cause a devastating blow triggering his resentment towards family. He was taken from his 
mother at the age of 10 and placed in a Foster Home. Moving from home to home created a sense of 
instability for TARE-el. He was able to find stability in MUSIC. Although TARE-el has a speech 
impediment, he is able to RAP with a comprehensive flow. 

Even though he made previous mistakes in his adulthood, he decided to turn his life around. He made 
music a key focus at the age of 20 and was a member of the rap group Black Night Regime in Middle 
Georgia. In 2001, TARE-el moved to Gulfport, Mississippi where he was introduced to a new style of 
music. By embracing this particular style of music and life, TARE-el was reintroduced to the world as 
T.R.E.A.L (Taking Responsibility on Everything And Learning). He began working with other artist by 
arranging songs, ghostwriting, and co-producing tracks for them to market and distribute, creating a 
Gulf Coast sound by combining his talent with theirs. 

Today TARE-el has totally given his life, talent and music to God. He is now working on his first Gospel & 
Soul Hip Hop album titled "C.S.A. (Christian Service Announcement)". God has really made a statement 
with TARE-el’s life and he is ready to tell the world through his music ministry.
