In the world of music, authenticity is often revered above all else. It’s the raw, unfiltered emotion that resonates most deeply with audiences, transcending genre boundaries and cultural barriers. And for rising star T Gesh, authenticity isn’t just a goal—it’s the very foundation of his musical journey.
Since childhood, music has been T’s refuge, his solace, his joy. “I’ve always wanted to sing since I was little. It’s the only thing that makes me happy, honestly,” he shares. His passion for music evolved into songwriting as he honed his craft, pouring his own experiences and emotions into his lyrics. “Once I felt like they were kinda of good enough for people to hear, then I recorded my first project and decided to put it out.”
What sets T Gesh’s music apart is its rawness, its authenticity. He dubs his unique style “Hood RnB,” a fusion of gritty, real-life narratives with the soulful melodies of contemporary R&B. “My shit is real, everything I wrote happened,” he declares. “It’s not polished or pretentious, it’s real and raw. I hope people f**k wit it.” Influenced by a diverse range of musical styles, from trap to gospel, he draws inspiration from the raw energy of artists like Future and the spiritual depth of The Clark Sisters.
For T, music is more than just a form of self-expression—it’s a medium through which he hopes to connect with his audience on a deeply personal level. “I write to get out emotions and ideas,” he explains. “Hopefully when other people hear me they hear their story or I’ve put words to things they didn’t know needed to be said.”
Despite being early in his career, he has already experienced moments of validation that speak to the universal appeal of his music. “Whenever I see people in different countries Shazam my songs or add it to their playlists I feel good,” he reflects.
When it comes to his songwriting process, T Gesh remains true to himself, drawing exclusively from his own experiences and emotions. “It’s all me! I co-produced all the beats. I write every song,” he emphasizes. “Now I’m writing my life my story…I think other people can relate.”
Looking ahead, he is focused on growth and longevity. “Hopefully it keeps growing and I keep getting better people,” he says. “I really want to be taken seriously and make songs that last.” With each project, he aims to showcase his evolution as an artist, pushing the boundaries of his sound while staying true to his roots.
Currently riding the wave of his latest project, “Eat Yo Pussy Out,” T Gesh shows no signs of slowing down. “It’s really dope, completely different from any other RnB project out right now,” he shares enthusiastically. And as he gears up for his next musical endeavor, fans can expect more of the authentic, raw storytelling that has become his signature.
