Ticky, born Thokozani Mulela (13th September 1999) is a Zambian artist, producer, and songwriter. Growing up, he had a strong disregard for music and developed a preference for video games and drawing. However, two significant events that sparked his musical interests were Akon's 2006 hit "Put The Blame On Me" and his introduction to FL Studio 3 by his father in 2008. His passion for rap and composition was assured after hearing J Cole's 2011 record "Nobody's Perfect” which features Missy Elliot. His first studio experience was in 2012.
