Everything about Pettidee totally explained

Pettidee (born Dewayne Petty in 1973 in Tallahassee, Florida), is an American rapper.

He currently lives in and produces his music out of Nashville, Tennessee.

Biography

Early years and the 'birth' of Pettidee

In the early years of his life, Dewayne Petty was familiar with the concept of a "dysfunctional childhood". As a child, he experienced the painful emotional trauma of being molested. As he grew older, Dewayne began working the streets as a hustler. At a cruicial point in his life, Pettidee realized he needed salvation from drugs and the typical street life of a hustler. Through God, Dewayne accepted salvation through Jesus Christ, and quickly realized God's will for his life. Dewayne had always had a talent with music and rapping, and so he soon quickly decided to use this gift as an outlet for evangelism. In 1998, Pettidee as an artist was born. Pettidee quickly transitioned from creating basic amateur loops on his boom box (as he did in his youth) to writing and producing his own Christian hip hop music from scratch. Pettidee is actively on tour in the United States, most commonly seen putting on shows with well known rap group GRITS, whom Pettidee holds a personal friendship with. Pettidee also speaks with youth at juvenile shelters, inmates in prison, and often holds public speeches regarding his life, ministry, and salvation through Jesus Christ.
