Born and raised in Regent Park, one of Toronto’s notorious housing projects, Turk (a Canadian rap artist) discovered his love for music at the age of 14. By 17, he had begun to pursue that dream which initially began with him creating his own music. Unfortunately, at the same time this was transpiring he began to have run - ins with the law, these situations along with other circumstances were, unfortunately, the determining factors in his life that contributed to him being held back from reaching the levels he strived for. His story doesn't end there. Since then Turk has released three projects as part of a duo named “TNT” (Turk n Tyke) as well as a list of solo singles that is leading up to his first solo album. THE TURK FOUNDATION - In 2017 Turk created a foundation that focuses primarily on youth in communities that are dealing with gun violence. Turk uses his negative life experiences as reminders for the kids on what NOT to do when placed in positions that can risk their safety or freedom. The Foundation works toward gang prevention.Some of the events are posted on www.turkfoundation.ca. Innovating programs and workshops looking to bridge the gap between others in different communities living in high risk areas. Overall Turk has taken a bad situation and made it a flourishing one for people growing up with the same hardships he went thru as a teenager and young man. And will continue to do so alongside his music his story goes on.
