Daystar Peterson, connu sous le pseudo Tory Lanez et aussi sous son alter ego ‘Argentina Fargo’ est un artiste canadien, à la fois rappeur et chanteur, qui est né le 27 juillet 1992, at qui a grandi à Brampton, en banlieue de Toronto.

L’origine de son alias
Le nom “Tory” vient du rappeur de Brooklyn, Notorious B.I.G. (No-tory-ous) et “Lanez” est un surnom qu’il avait quand il jouait à des jeux dangereux dans la rue.

Inspiration behind his crazy live shows.
Tory a déclaré que son père était un prêtre missionnaire qui l’avait beaucoup inspiré :  “Watching my dad as preacher plays a big part in it. Number one, him being a preacher, I always seen him like, level out his voice and then scream when it was time for it… Like me watching that… growing up, I think that played a big part in my presentation on stage, my wittiness ‘cause my dad was one of those preachers where he’s in church and he can deliver a message to you at the same time but he can also take a second off and be witty, for a second, and make a joke. And it’s just like, people would laugh but they understand what he’s saying. Because of that, the projection and the way that he spoke and just like, his vocabulary and everything, just the way he did things, was just at such a pace and a place that I feel like, it was inspiring to me. Now that I’m on stage and I have the mic, and I’m leading my own congregation, if you will, I take things that I saw.
