Bio / Background
Born in Eritrea, Africa north of Ethiopia near the Red Sea to Negesty Kiros and Tadesse Iassa, Layne "L.T." Tadesse is no stranger to war and a desire for freedom. On his debute album a song titled "Negeshe", is a tribute to his mother who past away. In the African language the meaning of her name is Queen, "Queen of all Queens". L.T. last name is his fathers first because in Eritrean culture the child takes the fathers first name unlike here in the United states. With war beginning in the early 60's between Eritrea and Ethiopia shortly after L.T. was born, his mother and father fled to Athens, Greece, then to New York, and settled in Philadelphia for four years before moving to Southern California. With a diploma from Colton High School and a degree from Chaffey College in Education, L.T. is a positive example turning adversity into opportunity and credits his family for his early musical interest.
He grew up around many musicians and most of them family members.
