Introducing Theory, a hot new artist for today's new scene. Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., Theory absorbed the elements of hip-hop by writing poetry and listening to his earlier inspirations, Nas and Jay-Z. He grew up listening to Michael Jackson, as well as being influenced by a number of today's biggest artists including Akon and the Black Eyed Peas. Upon that, he developed himself a character that would mold him into the artist he is today. Electrifying multi-fluid styles consisting of sleek hip-hop lyrics with a twist of R&B flavor separated him from most, if not all.
