Tafkal first showed an interest in music when he was 16 years old and trying find a way to express his emotions. He has always been a big fan of genres such as UK hip-hop and Grime.
College was a place where there was always hip-hop playing . Tafkals Racial officers were talking to him about music and he did noticed that Tafkal`s real passion and love was for music, They suggested that he should put it into practice so he did and started writing his own music at tender age of 16. He was first heavily interested in commercial side but as he got older he progressed too more to underground real life hip-hop, only a very few have ever influenced him i.e. SkinnyMan (Mud Family),L.Man (N-Double-A),Lowkey,Mike Glc, Genesis Elijah & Jaja Soze (PDC),KRS ONE. Tafkal brings a new lease to the table, Paths the way for more Disabled people to follow in his footsteps. The UK has never had a huge hip hop seen so makes it that little bit hard get into but Tafkal has been doing it on and off for last 8 years and is finally getting supporters, Tafkal now is concentrating on his own solo project as well as having few up projects and working with MWD, Mcees With Disabilities, members.
Tafkal was born on September 6th 1985 in Banbury . Tafkal has a rare genetic disorder known as TAR syndrome (Thrombocytopenia with Absent radius). TAR syndrome effects the limbs (arms and legs), hips and blood. In the blood a lowered platelet count leads to brussing and potentially life threatening haemorrhaging.Tafkal had to grow up quickly at a young age. He had to mature quicker than his peer group due to ignorance and bullying he had to endure from peers and strangers. From a very young age Tafkal has been fighting a constant battle with himself and other people who couldn't accept he was different.Tafkal was a victim of bullying and people would spit at him on the streets. He was verbally abused by people who would say hateful things about how he was different and didnt physically appear like everyone else. This played hard on Tafkal because he couldn't understand why he was different and didnt want to accept it.
Tafkal now tours UK with his group talking to young people about his life and what they can achieve,Hes also now the Founder of an up and coming organization by the name of Express Freedom Empire Ltd & Rhymikal Records.
