[edit] Biography

Tireh was raised by a multi-racial mother and an American Indian father, to whom he credits his appreciation for a myriad of music genres: as a child, Tireh was influenced by his father, who played drums for major bands and artists. At age five, he began to hone his singing talents by singing along to the songs of Michael Jackson, and he later began singing at local talent shows and community events, though he suffered from stage fright. After much practice, Tireh became more confident and many record producers and labels began to take an interest in him. One of whom was R&B singer, Ginuwine, who was in pursuit of signing Tireh to his label BAG Entertainment in 2001. After the duo grew apart, Tireh inked a six-figure deal with HMBC/EMI. Tireh's debut album Fahrenheit has just begun pre-production.
