Biography
Early life
LATIF was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His early passion for music came mainly from his parents, who, ironically, were not musically-inclined. This passion for music developed into an interest in singing for he and his older brothers.
A close friend of LATIF's family, Teddy Pendergrass, served as a mentor for the young budding artist. It was this mentorship that taught LATIF how to "deliver" songs. This relationship was nurtured by LATIF being taken along with Pendergrass to various interviews and appearances. He would often be allowed to sing alongside Pendergrass. It was this that led to LATIF being noticed by the daughter of a label executive. Which brought about his first recording contract with Sony/550.<ref name=musicremedy>[http://www.musicremedy.com/l/Latif/album/Love_In_The_First-314.html Latif - Love In The First]</ref>
