Tech N9ne turned to music at an early age and first began to rap as a young child as a way to remember how to spell his name. After some troubling events occurred in Yates’ life he started to use music and rapping as a way to vent his frustration. He started his professional career in 1991 as a rapper in the group Black Mafia, which experienced some success with the single “Let’s Get Fucked Up”. After Black Mafia disbanded he joined the group Nnutthowze, but soon moved onto the group The Regime in 1997, which was created by the rapper Yukmouth. Later that year Tech N9ne formed his own record label Strange Music.
In 1999 Tech N9ne released his debut solo album “The Calm Before the Storm”. One of the songs on the album “Questions” was included in the soundtrack for the film “Gang Related” and was the first song to be released by Tech N9ne as a solo artist. The soundtrack was a success due to rappers like 2Pac and Ice Cube contributing to the album, and the soundtrack ended up reaching the No. 2 spot on the Billboard’s Top 200 chart. In 2001 Tech N9ne released his third studio album “Anghellic”, which featured the single “It’s Alive”. The album wasn’t necessarily a commercial success, but it received positive reviews and is looked at as an iconic representation of the horrorcore genre.
Tech N9ne’s fourth studio album “Absolute Power” released in 2002 showed him starting to break into the mainstream with it being his first studio album to make it on the Billboard charts. His fifth studio album “Everready (The Religion)” showed Tech N9ne starting to climb the charts making it to No. 50 on the US Billboard 200 chart and No. 2 on the Independent Albums chart. The song “Caribou Lou” was one of the hits from the album and was certified Gold in 2012.
With Tech N9ne’s seventh album “Killer”, he was able to achieve his 1 millionth album sale. The album was a great commercial and critical success, and reached No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album also featured many notable guest appearances such as Scarface, Ice Cube, Kottonmouth Kings, and Shawnna. Tech N9ne increasingly became more popular with each album release and when he released the 2011 album “All 6’s and 7’s” the album gained the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Rap Albums chart.
Tech N9ne has also started a series of albums called Collabos, which features collaborations with unique artists. Some of the artists he has collaborated with in the past include Snoop Dogg, T-Pain, Mint Condition, Deftones, Cee Lo Green, Kendrick Lamar, The Doors, and Serj Tankian. His music has also appeared in numerous television shows and films such as “Alpha Dog”, and he has made appearances on late night television shows like “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.
Tech N9ne is persistent with his touring schedule and has shared the bill with artists like Freddie Gibbs, Krizz Kaliko, and Jarren Benton. He has also played diverse festivals such as the Rock the Bells festival and the Gathering of the Juggalos festival. Tech N9ne has gained the status as a prominent rapper due to his diverse influences of music as well as his rhythmic abilities that display a compelling sense of speed and flow.

Amazing show!
1. He plays the hits. I’m often shocked at the songs that are NOT played by certain artists, so when a guy plays his whole catalog of hits, its refreshing. And fun.
2. What makes #1 above even more impressive is that most rappers can’t play many of their hits because they are collaborations with other artists. Or when they do play them, they feel really truncated. Like a teaser. Tech finds a way to not only play his collaboration songs, but the songs feel complete. And his Collabos songs have several other artists, but you’d never know anything was missing.
3. He’s at ease with his craft and you can feel that he genuinely loves the crowd. Krizz Kaliko adds to Tech’s sets and mixes his hits in to give Tech a break. Its works.
4. Show was tight. Doors opened at 6, got there at 8:05. Saw the Dizzy Wright who was very good, then a 20 minute wait for Tech. Perfect!
Show didn't come to San Francisco (??) so had to drive 2.5 hours each way in rush hour traffic, get a hotel room, and be at work at 8 the next morning. Very good show, definitely worth it.

Aaron Dontez Yates is best known by his stage persona of Tech N9ne. The Missouri born rapper is known for performing huge live shows and great interaction with audiences. He has a huge amount of work to choose from when creating set lists, the rapper has released fourteen album and a whole host of EPs since the debut 'The Calm Before The Storm' in 1999.
Finding commerciality with singles such as 'Show Me A God' and 'Worldwide Choppers', these of course make the list and cause the audience to jump and dance enthusiastically as Yates encourages them to give more and more energy. Although he performs almost every track with this level of passion so the crowd support him throughout, running between the stage and the audience, the energy levels stay high throughout.
Supported by a number of other MCs/dancers, the party vibes carry on all night and when the posse eventually leave the stage the screams to return from the crowd are deafening. An encore of 'Fragile' and 'Stamina' satisfy the masses and leave them dancing to the very last beat.

I saw Tech N9ne in saint louis at the pagent!! It was amazing - what all the fans have been waiting for. The crowd was already on their feet, anticipating Tech N9ne to come out. And when he storms onto stage the crowd went crazy. The majority of the audience have seen Tech N9ne in concert before, but for those who have never seen him in action, it was worth the wait. He came out sporting his usual face paint. He put on an excellent, high energy show for the die-hard fans who have been waiting almost over three hours for his set. All in all, despite the whole show being over three hours, it was still an amazing show all together. The show gave an opportunity for people to see artists that they’ve never heard before and it gave the artists themselves exposure to gain more fans across the country with this tour. His wardrobe changes were amazing!! I can't wait to see hime again! STRANGE MUSIC ALL THE WAY!!!!

This was my 16th Tech N9ne Show and the small venue made it more intimate and by far one of the best. I’ve seen him and his amazing anterograde of strange music artists from small night clubs like last night to concert hall venues and it’s always the most memorable show of the year. I attend 40 to 50 concerts a year so it’s saying a lot. He brings amazing visuals and special effects to the large venues on top of his amazing stage show and accurate chopping speed raps to the larger clubs but to be a part of a sold out small venue filled with fans dancing and singing along with every song is equally an amazing experience. No one does it like him. It’s no wonder that whoever your favorite rapper is- they more than likely listen to Tech N9ne!

The Tech N9ne show was pretty ill, as every show he throws is. All jam packed close to the stage, he came off the stage and went pack to the seating are and was speaking of how he loved his technicians and how he was on the Forbes list and show was Legit!!! A must see show is any show that Tech N9ne is going to preform at!!! If you get the chance, it's an experience you will not regret, EVERY Show I've seen him at I wish I have seen him at more, get a VIP pass I didn't but would suggest it. I didn't have the money but had on red hat, red long sleeved shirt, red tie, red socks and new red converse...I pray he comes back through Omaha!!!!!

I was at Tech's first ever show in Moscow Russia on February 15th, 2019. The performance itself was great. High energy. Good interaction with the audience. The only downer was that they started about 45 minutes late and played for about an hour and 15-20 minutes. They said the venue was kicking them off. They didn't seem opposed to finishing though. Kinda felt like a rip-off for the ticket price of about $30 USD. Some people even paid more for early admission. I feel bad for them. I came right "on time" and I was about 5 people from the front.

Well lets see...... (04.07.16)....hellz yahsss!!!!! The entire show was a success. Everybody did their thang. Even with my boyfriend haveing to break up a fight, we still enjoyed ourselves. Was my early birthday present (04/14) and my very first concert ever attended. And I must say.... I got lost in the music, something like a trance. The feeling of it all. Outstanding! Will most deff attend more concerts of Tech and his crew again in Nashville. Thank y'all soo much for the amazeing night!

OMG.. I had a blast!!! What an amazing time!!! It was an honor to see Tech back in Vegas after he was banned from sin City for four years.... I really hope he comes back soon. I am deeply infacuated with Tech Nyne!! If I didn't have his songs to play and vibe with I probably would be locked up or dead!! When times get hard and I start to fall into depression all I gotta do is listen and watch techninna!!!! Thank you very much...Bye
Love Techs number one fan, Kayli
