Born Dec. 5 on the Westside of Chicago as Tyree Leonard b.k.a. Playboy-T, P.T. was a musical child growing up, and at the age of six, Playboy-T was already writing music. After listening to the likes of Michael Jackson, Run DMC, Rob Base, and other artists, he began developing his talent. Having already written music for 6 years, at the age of twelve, Playboy-T ran into BDC. BDC introduced Playboy-T into underground and gansta rap, were they started a group call Parental Guidance 14 a.k.a. PG-14. Playboy-T and BDC then began recording songs like “What I’m is” and their hit “My Life,” which led  BDC to start a label called Divine City Records, and Playboy-T then became president of the label. After some time of struggle the two went their separate ways, and Playboy-T continued to rap as a solo artist. In 2000 Playboy-T then started a label called Unfadeable Records, with a producer/artist by the name of Scandalous whom he met while in Louisiana. Shortly after Playboy-T signed a  deal with label/management team called H&N Entertainment, which led to him working on a deal with Sony Records. After the unsuccessful attempt with Sony, several independent labels offered deals which he turned down to work on his label and album “The Playboy Mansion,” where he released his hit single called “Move Somethin” His single got him spins in Canada, Japan, and the UK, with select spots in the US. A year and a half later Playboy-T and Scandalous lost contact while P.T. continued to write and Scandalous went overseas to produce. While the two lost contact, Playboy-T called up BDC and asked him to come over to his label where they started the “Unfadeable Clic.” They released a hit called "Work It," which was featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show and radio.  In 2009 Playboy-T released his sophmore album "The Rebirth:Plan A," with singles "Gettin Money," and "Diva" which was on radio stations nationwide.  Since then Unfadeable Records has changed its name to The Clic Records, where Playboy-T has written several songs featuring artist such as Trina, Red Cafe, Matt Houston and Grammy Award winning artist Sam Smith.
