T.R.A.N.E. Spitta, Ethan DaSilva, is a Brooklyn born, Nashville native with insane lyricism, rhyme schemes, sociopolitical messages, and deep and passionate songs. He was raised in a Caribbean household. Both of his parents were born and raised in Guyana, a small country on the Northern coast of South America bordering the Caribbean Sea. This culture contributed to some of his early musical influences being Bob Marley, Sizzla Kalonji, and other various conscious Reggae artists. Other influences include some of his mother’s favorite artists like Yolanda Adams and Anita Baker and his uncles’ favorite artists, who both were DJs in Brooklyn during their adolescent and early adulthood, such as Wu Tang, KRS One, Mos Def, and Biggie Smalls.
