Tyler-Justin Anthony Sharpe was born on August 26, 2002, in the Queens neighborhood of New York City to Jamaican immigrants. He was born in Queens in Springfield Gardens. However, Sharpe later relocated to Cedarhurst in Long Island. Sharpe was a young man with plans to be a basketball player, but he switched his focus on music when he turned twelve. Sharpe attended Lawrence High School. Tecca was just nine years old age when he began rapping over his Xbox. They would make tracks of diss directed at one another and one was uploaded to SoundCloud many years ago. However, it has since been taken down. At first, he did not have any plans to pursue a musical career although he did dream of becoming a NBA superstar. But, during his middle school years, he resigned himself to basketball and was contemplating taking music more seriously. The first track to become famous, "Tectri", was made in collaboration with Lil Gummybear and released in early 2017. Tecca also released "Callin" in the same year, which was one of his first tracks. Tecca's career took off a year later when he released the smash single "Ransom" that was uploaded to Cole Bennett’s Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel in May 22 in 2019. The song peaked at 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and has been played over 900,000,000 times on Spotify and more than 300 million times on YouTube.
