TDSG (This Day Starts Good) , born Antoine Allen, is an American rapper from Baltimore, MD who is a testament to how your environment may impact you, but not determine your destiny. A product of the foster care system, TD$G grew up not knowing his father and suffered the abandonment of a mother unable to care for a child. He spent his childhood fighting to survive while dreaming of becoming a professional basketball player. By the time he reached high school, TD$G ranked as a top student player in the State of Maryland. His hard work, dedication to the game, and passion for writing music would be his ticket out of the system and would take him to higher education on a student-athlete scholarship to the University of Miami, transferring to the University of South Alabama to finish his junior and senior years. Despite noteworthy accomplishments on college basketball courts, TD$G had his sights set on even higher ground. After receiving his BA in Interdisciplinary Studies, TD$G traveled the world as a professional basketball player making a name for himself on hardcourts in Spain, the Czech Republic, and other EU countries. Still, the fire for music burned deep in his soul. Between playing ball, he would find time to record songs and perform for locals along his journey. He worked every day to be the best version of himself. ‍Follow TD$G and his POSHLIFE movement on IG @tdsgofficial & @poshlifeent_ Be sure to checkout his new clothing collection PoshLifeShop.com
