BORN SEPTEMBER 3, 1981, TERATH "TRE" THANDI WAS RAISED IN A MIDDLE-CLASS INDO-CANADIAN FAMILY ON THE CANADIAN WEST COAST. THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR CHILDREN, HE ALWAYS HAD A STRONG PASSION FOR MUSIC AND THE ARTS, AND STARTED WRITING SONGS AT THE AGE OF 12. ALTHOUGH HE WAS VERY BRIGHT AND TALENTED, TRE GOT CAUGHT UP IN A LIFE OF CRIME AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. TRE HAD HIS FIRST RUN-IN WITH THE LAW WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED IN A STOLEN CAR AT THE AGE OF 13 IN NORTH VANCOUVER. TRE WAS AGAIN ARRESTED AND CHARGED AT THE AGE OF 16 FOR BEING CONNECTED TO A ROBBERY IN BURNABY. NOT LIKING THE ROAD THAT HE WAS HEADED DOWN, TRE TRIED HARD TO GET AWAY FROM THE DOPE-DEALERS AND GANG-BANGERS AND GOT BACK TO FOCUSING ON HIS EDUCATION. TRE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN 1999 AND WENT ON TO COLLEGE TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR HIMSELF, BUT STILL SAW NO OPPORTUNITIES TO GET HIMSELF INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. IN 2001, AFTER ATTENDING A LIVE CONCERT IN EAST VANCOUVER, TRE WAS ASSAULTED BY THREE ON-DUTY VANCOUVER POLICE OFFICERS. NO CHARGES WERE PRESSED AGAINST TRE, OR THE THREE OFFICERS INVOLVED. AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, TRE ENDED UP ENROLLING HIMSELF INTO A RECORDING ARTS SCHOOL, WHICH HE STARTED ATTENDING IN 2002. TRE RELEASED HIS FIRST MIX CD LATER THAT YEAR, AND AFTER RECEIVING AND TURNING DOWN NUMEROUS RECORDING CONTRACTS FROM LOCAL LABELS, HE SET UP HIS OWN INDEPENDENT RECORD LABEL, THREAT-HOUSE RECORDS, IN 2003. TRE RELEASED HIS FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM "ADDICTION" IN 2006 WHICH HELPED HIM BUILD A STRONG UNDERGROUND FAN-BASE IN CANADA AND THE U.S. HOWEVER KARMA CAUGHT UP WITH TRE ONCE AGAIN IN 2007 WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED AND INDICTED ON FEDERAL DRUG CHARGES FOR POSSESSION FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRAFFICKING. FACING JAIL TIME, TRE SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME IN THE RECORDING STUDIO PRODUCING HIS NEXT ALBUM "TRYPNOSIS," AS WELL AS MOKA ONLY'S "PSYCHODELIC" LP WHILE AWAITING HIS TRIAL. TRE WAS LATER GRANTED AN ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE IN JUNE OF 2008 AFTER PLEADING GUILTY TO A LESSER CHARGE OF POSSESSION WHEN IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE TWO ARRESTING OFFICERS INVOLVED HAD LIED IN POLICE STATEMENTS IN ORDER TO TRY TO GAIN A CONVICTION AGAINST TRE. TODAY, TRE IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST, IF NOT THE MOST, INDEPENDENT ARTISTS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. HE WRITES/PRODUCES/MIXES/ENGINEERS HIS OWN MUSIC WITHOUT FEELING THE NEED TO USE ANY SAMPLES TO PRODUCE HIS BEATS. HE ALSO PRODUCES AND DIRECTS MUSIC VIDEOS, AND IS THE C.E.O. OF HIS RECORD LABEL, THREAT-HOUSE RECORDS INC. WITH MANY PROJECTS ON THE GO, EXPECT TO BE HEARING A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS UP-AND-COMING HIPHOP PIONEER.
